Καλλιοπη
One of the Muses; she was not originally associated with any one particular art form as were her sisters, but from the start of the Alexandrian period she was regarded as Muse of lyric poetry. Calliope is sometimes said to have been the mother of the Sirens and of Linus and Rhesus. She also appears in some legends as the arbitress in the quarrel over Adonis between Persephone and Aphrodite.
