CALLIOPEAlso known as KALLIOPE
The Goddess of Eloquence and Poetry.
Eldest and most distinguished of the MUSES, she has a beautiful voice which inspires brilliance in debate and makes even the wimpiest poetry resound with epic meaning. Why she should give her name to a cheesy fairground organ is beyond us.The lover of APOLLO, she gave birth to his sons ORPHEUS and LINUS. She also took a shine to heroic ACHILLES, but contented herself with teaching him rowdy drinking songs.

To purchase such goodies we suggest you search for a dedicated mythology-based online store - or try Amazon, Ebay or other reputable websites.
