THE NINE MUSES OF THE ARTS – ERATO (MUSE OF EROTIC POETRY)


from the ABC set THE ANCIENT WORLD AND BEYOND

The nine muses
Daughters of Zeus
Inspiring of mortals
And nurturers of the arts
The third was,
The divine Erato,
Desired and lovely,
Was the muse of the lyric poets
A golden arrow in her hand
Muse of love verse
And of Erotic poetry
Erato the muse who charms the sight
And inspires love in everybody
