We'll also examine the broader significance of the Muses and the role they played in the ancient world.Īs we mentioned earlier, Calliope was one of the nine Muses, the daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne. In this article, we'll take a closer look at Calliope's story, exploring her family tree, her role in Greek mythology, and the symbols associated with her.
And one of the most important figures in this rich tradition is Calliope, the Muse of epic poetry.
THINGS ASSOCIATED WITH CALLIOPE MUSE FULL
It's full of gods and goddesses, heroes and villains, and epic tales of love, war, and adventure. In some of the myths she is said to be the mother of the legendary hero Orpheus.Greek mythology is one of the most fascinating topics in world history. She is one of the nine muses, sister goddess of inspiration and art. In Greek mythology Calliope is the daughter of Zeus, the king of the Greek Gods, and Mnemosyne, Titanesses of memory.
Calliope was one of the few deities to be shown dressing up with époque clothes. Even the text included describes dendrobiums, a species of orchid. The flowers shown in the episode, to include the one in the book shown here, are not of borage. In Psychology, purple is said to be a color that encourages creativity, which is appropriate considering she is a muse. When Calliope is killed, her body blows up into purple goo. Ironically, the start of the story traditionally has a prayer from Homer to Calliope called the 'Invocation of the Muses". The book used to distract Calliope was Homer's Odyssey. Such aspects that are appropriate to represent her as a muse of plays. Borage is a very early anti-depressant it was called euphrosynum by Pliny the Elder for its ability to bring joy, merriment, and drive away dullness and melancholy. Her dress is covered in Borage, also known as Starflower, which she leaves at the scene of her attacks. In Greek mythology, she is one of the many children of Zeus, who was killed in Remember the Titans. Blessed Wooden Stake - A stake of unidentified wood with an unspecified blessing was capable of killing her, causing her and any manifestations to explode into purple goo. Conjuration - She could create creatures based on characters and props from the play to inspire and protect the director. Apporting - She sent the drama teacher, a student and Sam to the school basement. Telekinesis - She easily slammed Sam against a door with the power of her mind and with no visible effort. She was however thrown off guard when she was hit over the head but didn't express any pain over it, just annoyance. Invulnerability - Calliope was not subject to disease or any other natural causes of death. Immortality - It was implied that Calliope had been alive for many thousands of years, probably since the Greek civilization. While she was busy conversing with Sam about the Supernatural story, the kidnapped girl and the drama teacher conspired to distract her, causing her to release Sam and enabling the two to get the stake back to Sam, who used it to stab Calliope in the back, killing her.Ĭalliope possesses abilities similar to most deities, though some were unique to her, she manifests creatures from the story she's tuned into then She uses these manifestations like the scarecrow to inspire the author and protect them until their vision has realised and finally after all that she eats the author. When Sam and Dean attempted to stop her scarecrow from taking the director during the play, Calliope sent Sam to the school's basement where she had stashed her previous victims and revealed herself to them once Sam woke up and subsequently pinned him against the door. Manifesting a version of the scarecrow (meant to be an adaptation of the Vanir), she abducted the drama teacher and a disgruntled student who both threatened to put an end to the play. In Fan Fiction, Calliope became attracted to the amateur school production of Supernatural that was being adapted into a stage musical. After inspiring her chosen director, she would consume them after the play was complete. 
As the Muse of Epics, Calliope was attracted to stories of journeys, death, rebirth and trials. One of nine Muses sired by the deities Zeus and Mnemosyne, she and her sisters Clio, Euterpe, Erato, Melpomene, Polyhymnia, Terpsichore, Thalia and Urania, inspired creativity and passion for different themes of theater.
