Your Creativity Has Ancestors. Nine Of Them.

May 03, 2025
Your creativity has ancestors.

Nine of them.

Let’s talk about the Muses 🎭 Because they don’t get nearly enough airtime — and they deserve it.

“What the heck is a Muse?!”

📜 In ancient Greece, the Muses were the OG creative squad:

Nine daughters of Zeus (king of the gods) and Mnemosyne (goddess of memory).

Their job? To inspire greatness — from epic poetry to astronomy.

Here’s the lineup:
🎤 Calliope – Epic poetry
 📚 Clio – History
 💘 Erato – Love poetry
 🎶 Euterpe – Music & lyric poetry
 🎭 Melpomene – Tragedy
 🙏 Polyhymnia – Sacred hymns & eloquence
 💃 Terpsichore – Dance
 😂 Thalia – Comedy
 🌌 Urania – Astronomy

Fast-forward to today — here’s why they still matter:

💥 “When we sit down each day and do our work, power concentrates around us... The Muse takes note of our dedication. She approves.”
— Steven Pressfield, The War of Art

🔥 The Muse doesn’t lead.

She follows effort.

She shows up after you do.

You don’t have to believe in ancient Greek goddesses —

Call it flow, the universe, divine inspiration, courage, alignment, or coffee.

💡 Whatever it is, it responds to discipline.

Not daydreams.

So tell me —

When was the last time you went all in…and the Muse showed up?
