Three Muses

Melpomene:
Jóhanna Rakel

The Muse of tragedy.

In Greek mythology, Melpomene is typically portrayed as serious and pensive, reflecting the solemn nature of tragedy. She is said to inspire playwrights, actors, and poets who seek to explore and depict the darker aspects of human existence, such as suffering, loss, and the inevitability of fate. Throughout history, Melpomene has been an enduring symbol of tragic artistry, inspiring countless writers, artists, and performers to create works that explore the depths of human emotion and the complexities of the human condition.

Polyhymnia:
Salka Valsdóttir

The Muse of sacred poetry, sacred hymn, dance and eloquence.

Polyhymnia was revered by Greek poets, orators, and musicians who sought inspiration for their hymns, prayers, and speeches. She was believed to inspire individuals to express themselves eloquently and to convey profound truths through language and gesture. Polyhymnia played an important role in inspiring creativity and fostering spiritual and intellectual growth.

Terpsichore:
Eivør Pálsdóttir

In Greek mythology, Terpsichore ("delight in dancing") embodies the beauty, elegance, and rhythm of dance.

Terpsichore was honored in various festivals and celebrations and occupies a central place in Greek mythology as the Muse of dance and choral poetry, embodying the joy and beauty of artistic expression through movement and music.
