There were nine Muses in Ancient Greek Mythology. They were the daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne (memory). They were heavily associated with Apollo, god of music, healing, poetry, and pestilence. They were: Calliope, muse of Epic Poetry; Clio, muse of history; Erato, muse of love poetry and mimicry; Euterpe, muse of music; Melpomene, muse of tragedy; Polyhymnia, muse of sacred poetry (hymns); Terpsichore, muse of dancing; Thalia, muse of comedy and playful& idyllic poetry; and Urania, muse of astronomy.
By Apollo, Thalia had the Corybantes, priests who castrated themselves.

Just thought I'd share.
