Many people have an abstract idea about the muse – or more to the point, the muses, minor goddesses who were often found in Apollo’s company. They represented the arts with each being assigned a specialty.

The Muses:

• Calliope
• Clio
• Erato
• Euterpe
• Melpomene
• Polyhymnia
• Terpsichore
• Thalia
• Urania

Choose one – and write a story about her, maybe you run into her at your local coffee bar, or shopping. What does she do, say, need?
