POLYHYMNIA - (POLYMNIA)
(She of the Many Hymns)
The Muse of Sacred Songs, Poetry and Storytelling (Songs of the Gods)
Polyhymnia (Polymnia), "She of Many Hymns," is the muse of Sacred Poetry and is seen with a pensive look upon her face. She brings distinction to writers whose works have won them immortal fame. She has also been called the Muse of geometry, mime, meditation and agriculture. Polyhymnia is often veiled.
Of all the Muses, she is most attuned to women's quest for transcendent experience.
'The rage of Pindar filled the sounding air,
As Polyhymnia tried her skill divine;
The shaggy lion roused him from his lair,
And bade his blood-stained eyes in fury shine;
The famished eagle poised his waving wings,
Whetting his thirsty beak--while murder rose,
With hand that grasps a dirk, with eye that glows'
from 'An Ode To Music', by James G. Percival
