Mneme
Muse in Greek mythology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to Pausanias, Mneme /ˈniːmiː/ ⓘ (Ancient Greek: Μνήμη, lit. 'Memory') was thought to be one of the three Muses at Mount Helicon, alongside Aoede and Melete.[1] He writes that the Macedonian Pierus replaced them with the nine Muses.[2] According to Robin Hard, the names Pausanias gives for these three Muses indicate that it is improbable he "is referring to a genuinely ancient tradition".[3]
