Item Details

Description

Greece, Boetia, ca. late 5th to early 4th century BCE. A press molded terracotta panel depicting a lovely youth or muse standing in contraposto, donning a wreath/headdress, holding the folds of a flowing garment with the right hand and a lyre with the left. A wonderful example. Size: 3.125" W x 7.25" H (7.9 cm x 18.4 cm)

Sources of inspiration to poets, muses were goddesses of music, song, and dance. In ancient Greek pottery and vase painting the Muses (Musai) were depicted as graceful young woman with various musical instruments, in this case a lyre or harp. Muses were also revered as goddesses of knowledge who possessed remarkable memory. In time, the muses were given specific names and assigned particular artistic realms: Kalliope (Calliope) for epic poetry; Kleio (Clio) for history; Ourania (Urania) for astronomy; Thaleia (Thalia) for comedy; Melpomene for tragedy; Polymnia (Polyhymnia) for religious hymns; Erato for erotic poetry; Euterpe for lyric poetry; and Terpsikhore (Terpsichore) for choral song and dance.
