Redirected from Euterpe (muse)
Euterpe ("rejoicing well" or "delight"), in
Greek mythology, was the daughter of
Zeus and
Mnemosyne. Called the "Giver of Pleasure", she was the
muse of music. In late Classical times she was named muse of lyric poetry and depicted holding a flute. She invented the double-flute. The river
Strymon[?] impregnated her; her son
Rhesus was killed by
Diomedes at
Troy.
