The nine Muses, daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne (Memory), are associated with various arts and sciences:
* Calliope: Epic poetry
* Clio: History (although she is more associated with recording history than the subject itself)
* Erato: Lyric poetry and love poetry
* Euterpe: Music, especially flute playing
* Melpomene: Tragedy
* Polyhymnia: Sacred hymns and poetry
* Terpsichore: Dance
* Thalia: Comedy and idyllic poetry
* Urania: Astronomy and astrology
While Clio is often considered the muse of history, her role is more about inspiring the recording of historical events, rather than representing history itself.
It's worth noting that the concept of history as a discipline with its own methods and principles developed much later than the Greek myths.
