About this book

'From the Muses of Helicon let us begin our singing, that haunt Helicon's great and holy Mountain': overladen with symbolic nuances, Hesiod's encounter with the Muses as he was pasturing his sheep on Mount Helicon (Theog. 22-35) perfectly distils the Goddesses' essential character: allusive, elusive, and honoured with a leading position in poetic endeavour.
