The Polyhymnia Conspiracy
The Grand Bargain between the realms uplifted the hairless apes and gave them art and gave them song and gave them story and gave them history and gave them society and gave them justice and gave them sport and gave them science and gave them belief and made them human. To each realm of thought, a Muse: Lyrical Euterpe, Historical Clio, Comedic Thalia, Tragic Melpomene, Kinetic Terpsichore, Lovestruck Erato, Scientific Urania, Epic Calliope, And Polyhmnia, who mediates the link between matter and spirit between profane and holy between nature and the supernatural Invoked in the open as one of nine, but contained, herself, within the invocation within every invocation to every god providing definition and instruction to every god giving realms and powers to every god or, on a whim, taking them away. In the myth she created about herself Polyhymnia was a daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne, and Zeus was the son of Kronos and Rhea, and Kronos, Rhea, and Mnemosyne were the children of Ouranous and Gaia, and Ouranous, scandalously, was also a child of Gaia, and Gaia was a child of Chaos and Chaos was an invention of Polyhymnia. Polyhymnia allowed Zeus had a good run atop Mount Olympus where she'd placed him after she'd named him for a sky god and allowed him to conquer the sky. Polyhymnia coupled Zeus with many consorts. She allowed Zeus many offspring: more gods for humans to worship, more heroes for humans to marvel at, until Polyhymnia grew bored. She rebranded Zeus as Jupiter. She moved his base to Rome. She inspired Ovid and Virgil and bought her creation a few more centuries at the top of the sky. But eventually, Polyhymnia let Zeus fade and replaced him with other deities that she created always working behind the scenes sometimes in plain sight as an angel or a tree or a serpent or a ghost.Polyhymnia
The Muse of Belief
In traditional Greek myth, Polyhymnia was the Muse of Belief. In this capacity she inspired humans to create hymns and odes to celebrate the gods.
"The Nine Muses - Polyhymnia (Rhetoric)" (1781) by Johann Heinrich Tischbein the Elder (1722 - 1789)
Family
Her mother was Mnemosyne, the Titaness of memory. Her father was Zeus, Olympic god of the sky. She and her eight sisters, the nine Musai (or Muses), were born on the same day but conceived over nine sequential nights.Depiction
In art, Polyhymnia is usually depicted looking or pointing up with a prayerful expression, often holding a scroll, seated next to a scribe, or playing a lyre or harp.Divine Domains
