Camenae

The Camenae were originally water sprites associated with a sacred spring in Rome. They were eventually associated with the Greek Muses, the Goddesses of the arts, history, and music. Poets, musicians, and others held them not only as their patrons but as their inspiration. It is in this spirit that we employ their names to pursue the study of Roman art, literature, music, and history. While many of the sections below do not yet have anything under them, we welcome all efforts of our Citizens and others to produce either articles on the topics below, or to create their own works to be showcased herein.

• Calliope (Epic poetry)
• Clio (History)
• Erato (Lyric choral poetry)
• Euterpe (The flute)
• Melpomene (Tragedy)
• Polyhymnia (Hymns and pantomimes)
• Terpsichore (Light verse and dance)
• Thalia (Comedy)
• Urania (Astronomy)
