The Muses : daughters of Zeus & Mnemosyne who preside over Arts & Sciences. Their worship spread from Thracia & Pieria into Boetia, where they dwelt on Mt. Helicon, with its sacred fountains of Aganippe & Hippocrene. Mt. Parnassus & its Castilian Spring were also sacred to them. Libations of water or milk & honey were offered to them. Originally three, they were later spoken of as nine.
