Greek Muses

Greek Muses

Below you will find nine delightful black and white illustrations of the nine Greek Muses from Greek mythology. The muses were the daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory. Each of the nine muses was assigned a particular type of literature, art, or science to promote and watch over. These drawings are from J. Loughran Scott’s edition of Bulfinch’s The Age of Fable. It was published in 1898. If you enjoy these images of the nine muses, you’ll definitely want to visit the galleries that feature more Ancient Greek Gods and Greek Mythology. Get inspired!
