Clio is the old-fashioned muse of history; although she never had quite a great temper to begin with, she can
get quite upset with the latest advances of the modern world. Don't walk up to her to tell her about the wonders of central air conditioning,
electric guitars, cable TV or worse, the Internet - she may thwap you over the head with an ancient doric column like the unruly child you are.
Kids these days, always playing those stupid ball games on her lawn. Back in her day...

Calliope is the muse of epic poetry, and one of muses with the worst sense of humour out there. She values seriousness, and tends
to prefer badassery to efficiency. One of her pet peeves is the excessive use of the word "epic" by Thalia, mostly to describe very
amusing things. Nowadays, her work includes inspiring action film scriptwriters, superhero comic book artists, and,
if disturbed by a cheerful muse I shan't name, Jean Claude Van Damme.

Polyhymnia is the muse of pantomime (as well as sacred poetry and sacred hymn), and as such, the goddess of
creepy French mimes, human statues, crossdressing actors, and Michel Courtemanche. She never speaks and has the unpleasant habit of
handing other gods "invisible" objects (that they appear to be unable to use) and of running into "transparent" walls. Yet, she has
the amazing ability to polevault without a pole.
Godlike mime powers, bitch.
