In Greek mythology, Calliope was the 缪斯 of heroic poetry,daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne, and is now best known as Homer's muse, the inspiration for the Iliad and the Odyssey.
One account says Calliope was the lover of the war god Ares, and bore him several sons: Mygdon, Edonus, Biston, and Odomantus - respectively the founders of Thracian tribes known as the Mygdones, Edones, Bistones and Odomantes.
Calliope also had two famous sons, Orpheus and Linus,by either Apollo 或者 the king Oeagrus of Thrace. She taught Orpheus verses for 唱歌 She was the wisest of the Muses, as well as the most assertive. She married Oeagrus close to Pimpleia,Olympus.
Calliope is always seen with a 写作 tablet in her hand. At times, she is depicted as carrying a roll of paper 或者 a book 或者 as wearing a 金牌 crown.
