Born of Zues and Mnesyne, the Muse of Memory- after their nine nights of love- Nine muses came to the realm to bring forth civilization in writing, learning, music, dance, and performance.

Of the Nine Muses, Melpomene is the Muse of Tragedy. Tragedy is a way to ceremonially look at the other side of life. The real side. The Greeks recognized her gift to humble us to the heartbreak and the depth of what life can bring to us. As Oscar Wilde said “A Man’s greatest moment is- I have no doubt when he kneels in the dust, beats his chest, and confesses the sins of his life.” To that sentiment let Melpomene be there, understanding you, giving you strength, and always reminding you that this is part of of what your life is about. She brings us back to earth. For this is our place. Let the Gods and Goddesses take care of themselves.

Space Travel? Don’t worry I am still a proponent of that. That is why Urania was born after all. Aye but let our brushes and dances with tragedy always push us to greater heights and may we be the better for it to take them on.
