Captain’s report: Victor T. Mayfair of the time ship Zephyros. We’ve just landed in ancient Greece in search of the muses, the nine goddesses who inspired every bit of art, music and poetry. Imagine needing to write a song and having an actual goddess whisper the lyrics into your ear. First up, Calliope. She’s the muse of epic poetry. Think Iliad and Odyssey.
She’s the one who made those stories legendary. Then we’ve got Terpsichore, the muse of dance. Every time you hit a groove on the dance floor. It’s Terpsichore’s influence. She even plays the lyre while you bust a move. And don’t forget, Euterpe, the muse of music. She’s the one plucking the strings of inspiration behind every great tune. Even ancient Greece had its hits.

Think you’d be able to keep up with their creativity? Follow us for the full interview and more epic adventures from Mythos Anthology.
