Geocache Description:


This cache is one of the several honoring the Greek Muses.

CALLIOPE

Calliope is the eldest and most distinguished of the nine Muses and initially identified with philosophy. She is the Muse of eloquence and epic or heroic poetry.

Calliope, which means "beautiful voice", is the mother of the great poets and musicians Orpheus and Linus with Apollo.

When Persephone, goddess of the Underworld, argued with the goddess of love Aphrodite over the affections of handsome Adonis, Zeus sent wise Calliope to be the judge and arbitress. She decided that Adonis should spent part of the year with Persephone and the rest with Aphrodite. Her emblems are a stylus and wax tablets, and sometimes with a roll of paper or a book.
