THE NINE MUSES OF THE ARTS – URANIA (MUSE OF ASTRONOMY)


from the ABC set THE ANCIENT WORLD AND BEYOND

The nine muses
Daughters of Zeus
Inspiring of mortals
And nurturers of the arts
The ninth and final was,
The divine Urania,
Heavenly muse,
Was the muse of astrology
A globe in her hand
Dressed in a cloak embroidered with stars
Urania was reader of the stars
