Day 7: First Quarter (For the Birth of Apollo and the Muses)

So, after three days away from my prayer book, it’s time to come back to it. Tonight I honor the birth of Apollo and the Muses. The Muses were considered inspiration in ancient Greece. Their names were Calliope (epic poetry), Clio (history), Euterpe (flute and lyric poetry), Thalia (comedy and pastoral poetry), Melpomene (tragedy), Terpsichore (dance), Erato (love poetry), Polyhymnia (sacred poetry), and Urania (astronomy). They were the daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, which is memory personified.

Apollo is over them and directs them.

Well I hope that you all have a good one and see you tomorrow.

Note: Sorry about not including the birth of Apollo, I've already covered that.
