TERPSICHORE. MUSE OF THE DANCE......
In ancient poetry, the poet often invokes the muse or more than one muse. The idea is the same as the modern one -- that the muse helps the poet to write by inspiring him.At one time, the goddesses of inspiring springs, the nine Muses became the representatives of poetry, the arts and science : Calliope, Muse of epic song, Clio, Muse of history, Euterpe, Muse of lyric song, Thalia, Muse of comedy and bucolic poetry, Melpomene, Muse of tragedy, Terpsichore, Muse of dance, Erato, Muse of erotic poetry, Polyhymnia, Muse of sacred song, and Urania, Muse of astronomy.

a beautiful shot of the captivating terpsichore! the low point of view and the closeness makes her come very much alive, as though she's living and breathing, and breathing the dance into us ; ))! love how she seems both surrounded by the sun (the orange-painted wall!) and the ocean (that wave like ornament on top of the pillar!)! greetings, sabine.Rosetta4 28/08/2010 16:48
Dans la mythologie grecque , Terpsichore "plaisir de la danse» a été l'un des neuf Muses , régnant sur la danse et le spectaculaire chœur .Elle est très belle, elle tient son lyre.
Amitiés, Rosetta
