my chemical romance as greek goddesses ♡
Selene, goddess of the moon, truly represented the moon itself to the Greeks. Selene shone brightly through the lands of ancient Greece. She captivated the hearts of poets and authors, becoming as much of a symbol of the glorious night as the proverbial light in the darkness.
Achelois was a Greek goddess from ancient times. She was one of the deities identified with the moon and its monthly cycle. Achelois translates in English to "she who washes away pain." She was often looked to by the ancient Greeks as a source of comfort and healing.
Euterpe was a muse, a Goddess who was an authority of music. She inspired the poets of ancient Greece, including the famous Homer who wrote the iliad and the Odyssey. Euterpe was also called the "giver of delight." She was the patron of tragedy or flute playing.
In Greek mythology, Calliope is the muse who presides over eloquence and epic poetry; so called for the ecstatic harmony of her voice. Hesoid and Ovid called her the "chief of all muses." Calliope was the eldest of all the muses and the mother of the bard Orpheus.
