Terpsichore is the Muse of dancing and
the dramatic chorus, and later of lyric poetry. Hence the
word terpsichorean, pertaining to dance. She is
usually represented seated, and holding a lyre. According
to some traditions, she is the mother of the Sirens with
the river-god Achelous. She is also occasionally
mentioned as the mother of Linus by Apollo. |
