Muse of the poets: Difference between revisions

The name ''muse of the poets'' is a reference to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muse Muses] of Greek mythology. These muses were a group of nine goddesses who granted inspiration to artists. Four of the Muses – [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erato Erato], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euterpe Euterpe], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyhymnia Polyhymnia] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calliope Calliope] – were believed to govern various types of poetry, but it is unknown if the muse in the ''Rayman'' series is intended to be analogous to any of them in particular. The series makes several other references to Greek mythology – for example, [[Count Razoff]]'s grandmother is said to be [[Shoedsackovskaïa family|Artemis]]; this is an allusion to the Greek hunter-goddess of the same name (who is incidentally the half-sister of the Muses).
