Once in a while a cross- over thought can be very clarifying.
I introduced some musses, as you could have been reading in previous blogs. Musses, a pluralism for mus, distracted, inspired on the word 'muse'. The mus is also a fine tiny brownish bird, very volatile, which can be spot near houses and restaurants in the Netherlands. The mus, the bird, happens to have a very alightning sound. According to me. And it seems that even biologists find it very hard to distinguish the male from the female.
The ancient Greek, ( not to confuse with ' the ancient regime, with illustrious characters like Josephine, Belle van Zuylen, Napoleon Bonaparte and Benjamin Constant) so goes the story, had nine muses. I found two tableaus on the Internet, theio.com , named ' the nine mousai'. With credits to Aaron Atsma, copyright 2000-2011 for this knowledge. One mosaic is kept in the archeological museum of Cos, Cos, Greece, coded: Z20.2. The other mosaic is kept in Trier, Germany, found in Neustrasse, coded: Z20. Both tableaux have being typed as mosaic and both are placed in the Time of Imperial Rome. On both mosaics, nine portraits and bustes of male/ female looking persons can be identified. Genderbenders one could be able to name them today.
What is derived from/ interpreted from Z20.2?
Kalliope with scroll
Euterpe with flute
Thalia with comic mask
Kleio with writing block
Melpomene with tragic mask
Terpsikore with a lyre
Erato with a lyre
Ourania with globe ( !)
Polymnia, without attributes
What is derived from/ interpreted on Z20.3?
Thalia with shepherd's crock and comic mask
Terpsikhore and Erato with lyra's
Kalliope and Kleio with scrolls
Ourania with globe
Melpomene, Euterpe and Polymnia without attributes
Interesting, isn't it?
Well, there is more.
In short, Muze, Mus, Muses, Musses, as words, are derived from mousai, ancient Greek. Then, or later, for instance in classical times ( this is written with a great probability sound), the muses were assigned specific literary and artistic spheres. Kleio, Clio as it is written nowadays, was assigned as the muse of history. As a statue, she can be pictured with mostly female characteristics features. A standing figure, with the leftside hand and arm leaning on a pole and a scroll. The rightside arm and hand, holding horizontally in front of the mid-reef (middenrif). Sometimes, so Aaron wants us, you and me, to believe, Clio was seated besides a chest of books. I have seen no proof of that yet.
And, what did they say, sing, write, declare? These so called muses. They were to amuse, no doubt about that.
Maybe, just very very very maybe, Mrs. De Wit, the historic teacher old languages, gymnasium Schoonoord, 1970-1995, did sent so many sounds in space, my ears incidental caught some words from these sounds, then. Now they come out my pointing finger, right hand.
Well, and I use the word Mus, pretty short, efficient, to counter off course the too much female value given to the word muse. Someone has to balance things, once in a while. The only thing I am not going to do is to give Mus real names, because there are no real names and because that would be too unmystifying. It is about the sound, to amuse, to bring along other thoughts, to counter the dominance of mainstream, copycat, thoughts. Art, duz.
What about Vink? Yeah, what about Vink. I do not have to amuse myself everyday and isn't like the saying goes: change does the eating / verandering van spijs doet eten.
I am so hungry, you don't want to know.
