El sepulcro de la persona yaciente, donde están representadas todas las musas en el sarcófago.

En la mitología griega, las musas (en griego antiguo µ??sa? «mousai») son, según los escritores más antiguos, las divinidades inspiradoras de las artes: cada una de ellas está relacionada con ramas artísticas y del conocimiento. Son hijas de Zeus y de Mnemósine, compañeras del séquito de Apolo, dios olímpico de la música y patrón de las bellas artes, quien tuvo romances con cada una de ellas, dejando descendientes. Bajaban a la tierra a susurrar ideas e inspirar a aquellos mortales que las invocaran. En la época más arcaica eran las ninfas inspiradoras de las fuentes, en las cuales eran adoradas. Finalmente, alrededor del siglo viii-siglo vii a. C., prevaleció en todo el territorio de la Hélade la adoración de las nueve Musas, que son Calíope, Clío, Erató, Euterpe, Melpómene, Polimnia, Talía, Terpsícore y Urania. El culto a las musas era originalmente de Tracia y Beocia, y fueron de vital importancia para el desarrollo artístico en la Antigua Grecia.


The tomb of the recumbent person, where all the muses are represented in the sarcophagus.

In Greek mythology, the muses (in ancient Greek µ??sa? «mousai») are, according to the oldest writers, the inspiring divinities of the arts: each of them is related to artistic branches and knowledge. They are daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, companions in the entourage of Apollo, the Olympic god of music and patron of the fine arts, who had romances with each of them, leaving descendants. They came down to earth to whisper ideas and inspire those mortals who invoked them. In the most archaic times they were the inspiring nymphs of the fountains, in which they were worshipped. Finally, around the 8th-7th century B.C. C., the worship of the nine Muses, which are Calliope, Clio, Erató, Euterpe, Melpomene, Polyhymnia, Thalia, Terpsichore and Urania, prevailed throughout the territory of Hellas. The cult of the muses was originally from Thrace and Boeotia, and they were of vital importance for the artistic development in Ancient Greece.
