Character history. One dance goddess greek mythology dance goddess terpsichore
Very often in our life there are such phrases as: “the muse visited”, “the muse of poetry” and many others in which the word muse is mentioned. However, what does it mean? This concept comes from ancient mythology. The Greek Muses are nine sisters, patrons of the arts and sciences. They are the daughters of Zeus himself and each of them has their own unique divine powers. Let's look at them in more detail.

So, as mentioned earlier, the Muses are the daughters of Zeus and the Titanides Mnemosyne, who is the goddess of memory. The very word muses (muses) comes from the Greek word for “thinking”. The Muses were usually portrayed as young and beautiful women. They possessed a prophetic gift and favorably treated creative people: poets, artists, artists, encouraging and helping them in their activities in every possible way. However, for special offenses, the muses could deprive a person of inspiration. To prevent this from happening, the ancient Greeks built special temples in honor of the muses, which were called museions. It is from this word that the word “museum” comes from. The patron of the Muses themselves was the god Apollo. Let's now look at each of the muses in more detail.
Muse Calliope - muse of epic poetry
The name of this muse from Greek can be translated as "having a beautiful voice." According to Diodorus, this name arose at the moment when the “beautiful word” (kalen opa) was uttered. She is the eldest daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne.
Calliope is the mother of Orpheus, the muse of heroic poetry and eloquence. It evokes a sense of sacrifice that encourages a person to overcome his selfishness and fear of fate. Calliope wears a golden crown on her forehead - a sign that she dominates other muses, thanks to her ability to introduce a person to the first steps towards his liberation. Calliope was depicted with a waxed tablet or scroll and a slate stick in her hands - a stylus, which was a bronze rod, the pointed end of which was used to write text on a tablet covered with wax. The opposite end was made flat to erase what was written.
Muse Clio - patroness of history
The accompanying attributes of this muse are a scroll of parchment or a tablet - a board with letters. Clio reminds of what a person can achieve, helps to find his destiny.
According to Diodorus, the name comes from the word "Cleos" - "glory". The etymology of the name is “giving glory”. From Pier, the Greek muse Clio had a son, Hyacinthus. Love for Pier was inspired by Aphrodite for condemning her love for Adonis.
Muse of Melpomene - muse of tragedy
In Greek mythology, Melpomene is considered the muse of the tragic genre. The name, according to Diodorus, means "a melody that pleases the listeners." The image is anthropomorphic - it was described as a woman with a bandage, grape or ivy wreath on her head. It always has permanent paraphernalia in the form of a tragic mask, sword or club. The weapon carries the symbolism of the inevitability of divine punishment.
Melpomene is the mother of sirens - sea creatures who personified a deceptive but charming sea surface, under which sharp cliffs or shallows are hidden. From their mother muse, the sirens inherited the divine voice with which they lured sailors.
Muse Thalia - muse of comedy
Thalia or, in another version, Phalia - in Greek mythology, the muse of comedy and light poetry, the daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne. Depicted with a comic mask in her hands and a wreath of ivy on her head.
From Thalia and Apollo, the Corybantes were born - the mythical predecessors of the priests of Cybele or Rhea in Phrygia, in wild enthusiasm, with music and dances, serving the great mother of the gods. According to Diodorus, she received her name from prosperity (thallein) glorified in poetic works for many years.
Zeus, turning into a kite, took Thalia as his wife. Out of fear of Hera's jealousy, the muse hid in the bowels of the earth, where demonic creatures were born from her - sticks (in this myth she is called the nymph of Etna).
Muse Polyhymnia - muse of solemn hymns
Polyhymnia is the muse of solemn hymns in Greek mythology. According to Diodorus, she got her name from the creation by many praises (diapolles chimneseos) of fame to those whose name poetry immortalized with glory. She patronizes hymn writers. It is believed that she keeps in memory all the hymns, songs and ritual dances that praise the Olympian gods, it is also believed that she invented the lyre.
Polyhymnia is often depicted with a scroll in her hands, in a thoughtful pose. Polyhymnia patronizes the study of rhetoric and oratory by people, which turns the orator into an instrument of truth. She personifies the power of speech and makes a person's speech life-giving. Polyhymnia helps to recognize the mystery of the word as a real power, with which you can inspire and revive, but at the same time hurt and kill. This power of speech is inspiring on the path to truth.
Muse Terpsichore - muse of dance
Terpsichore is the muse of dance. According to Diodorus, she got her name from the enjoyment (terpein) of the audience by the benefits that are in art. Tsets also calls her name among the Muses. Considered the patroness of dancing and choral singing. Depicted as a young woman, with a smile on her face, sometimes in the pose of a dancer, more often sitting and playing the lyre.
Characteristic attributes: a wreath on the head; in one hand she held a lyre, and in the other a plectrum. This muse is associated with Dionysus, attributing to her the attribute of this god - ivy (as the inscription on Helicon dedicated to Terpsichore says).
Muse Urania - muse of astronomy
Urania is the muse of astronomy. The attributes of Urania were: a celestial globe and a compass. According to Diodorus, she received her name from the aspiration to heaven (ouranos) of those who comprehended her art. According to one version, Urania is the mother of Hymen.
Urania personifies the power of contemplation, she calls us to leave the external chaos in which a person exists and plunge into the contemplation of the majestic run of the stars, which is a reflection of fate. This is the power of knowledge, the power that draws to the mysterious, draws to the high and beautiful - to the Sky and the Stars.
Muse of Euterpe - muse of lyric poetry
Euterpe (ancient Greek Εὐτέρπη "entertaining") - in Greek mythology, one of the nine muses, the daughters of Zeus and the Titanides Mnemosyne, the muse of lyrical poetry and music. Depicted with a lyre or flute in her hands.
Mother of Res by the river god Strymon. According to the etymology of Diodora, she received her name from the enjoyment (terpein) of listeners who receive the benefits of education. Tsets also calls her name among the Muses.
Muse Erato - muse of love poetry
Erato is the muse of lyrical and love poetry. Her name is derived from the name of the god of love Eros. According to Diodorus, she received the name in honor of the ability to be “eperasta” (desired for love and passion).
She was born as a result of the union of Mnemosyne and Zeus. From Mala Erato gave birth to Cleophema. The attribute of the muse is cithara. This divine heroine of Greek mythology is often mentioned in the legends of the Hellenes.
In addition, Virgil and Apollonius of Rhodes resort to the symbolism associated with the image of the Greek muse Erato in their works. She knows how to breathe into the soul love for everything living with her art to transform everything into beauty, hidden beyond the physical.
According to Wikipedia
The Muse of Dance in Greek Mythology. Considered the patroness of dancing and choral singing. A popular image and symbol in art. According to Diodorus, she got her name from the enjoyment (terpein) of the audience by the benefits that are in art.

Her epithet is "enjoying round dances." Depicted as a young woman with a smile on her face, sometimes in the pose of a dancer, more often sitting and playing the lyre. Terpsichore appears in a simple tunic with a lyre in her hands, on her head a wreath of ivy.
This muse is associated with Dionysus, attributing to her the attribute of this god - ivy (as the inscription on Helicon dedicated to Terpsichore says).

The Russian band Spleen dedicated a whole song to Terpsichore. The asteroid (81) Terpsichore, discovered in 1864, is named after the muse. There is a mention of the muse in the first chapter of Eugene Onegin by Pushkin.
My goddesses! what do you? Where are you?
Hear my sad voice:
Are you all the same? other le maidens,
Replacing, did not replace you?
Will I hear your choruses again?
Will I see the Russian Terpsichore
Soul filled flight?

Scenario of the event "Terpsichore - the muse of dance"
Age of participants: 7 - 17 years.
Target : Formation in children by means of music of rhythmic movements, various skills, disclosure of motor, dance and performance abilities, spiritual and moral qualities of the individual; strengthening the health of children.
Equipment: musical equipment, stagelighting equipment, scenery, costumes.
Leading: Do you want us to tell you about a miracle?
About the miracle that lives next to us.
What is it, you ask?
And try to guess for yourself!
You cannot touch it with your hand, but you can see and hear it.
It has a soul, a heart, but it takes time to understand it.
And it's called the Dance.
Leading: According to ancient Roman legend, Apollo is the patron of the arts. But he has nine beautiful muses. Clio is the muse of history, Thalia is the muse of comedy, Melpomene is the muse of tragedy. But our attention is attracted by another - the muse of dance - Terpsichore. And Her Majesty is visiting us today.
Exit Terpsichore (to the music of a foxtrot and performs a dance performance with the participants of the event).
After the performance, Terpsichore remains alone on the stage.
Terpsichore : Today you will learn how and when this beautiful art form - dance - was born, you will visit different countries and be transported, as if on a fantastic time machine, from one century to another.
You love to dance, don't you? Or, at least, the sounds of rhythmic, incendiary music do not leave you indifferent? Whatever it was, I invite you to talk about this art.
Terpsichore (addressing the audience in the hall): what do you like about dance art?
These are beautiful moves.
This is beautiful music.
Grace, bright costumes.
Dance brings joy.
Terpsichore: In each of your answers there is the word "beauty". It is felt that you not only touch beauty with your mind, but also with your heart.
What does it mean to touch beauty? Here is one person's thoughts: “I picked a flower and it withered. I caught a moth and it died in my palm. And then I realized that you can touch beauty only with your heart.
Leading: Yes, beauty should be able not only to see and feel. Beauty must be preserved! This is the hardest part. Capturing beauty in the soul, remembering it, always carrying it in the heart - maybe this is the highest manifestation of human culture?
So, today we begin to talk about one of the most exciting, most sublime and beautiful of all arts.
Leading: Terpsichore herself came to us from Ancient Greece. The ancient Greeks highly valued dance. They saw in the art of dance "the unity of spiritual and bodily beauty." Dances accompanied state holidays, family celebrations, and they studied them in gymnasiums, academies and music schools.
Great development of dance art occurred in the Middle Ages.
In the Middle Ages, dances adorned folk festivals and home holidays. In the dance of ordinary people one can see the glorification of life, the joy of youth, good luck, they worship the sun, the distances of the fields. Lively rhythm, jumps, circular movements, stomps, jumps - that's the whole folk choreography.
We will start our evening with the Sirtaki dance. Let's look into the history of this dance, and we will find out that in fact it is not a national Greek dance, as many people think. Sirtaki is a popular dance of Greek origin created in 1964 for the film Zorba the Greek. It is not a Greek folk dance, but it is a combination of slow and fast versions of hasapiko, an old butcher's dance.
Dance "Sirtaki" is performed by 9th grade students
Leading: But that's not all! There was other art as well. Let's remember that they danced at the royal courts of Europe inXVI- XVIIcenturies. Who knows? (minuet, gavotte, pass-dreams, bourre, galliard, chimes, sarabande, chaconne, rigaudon, valto).
But all these dances were created by the people. In high society, the dance style changed in accordance with court etiquette. In 1661, the Royal Academy of Dance appeared in France. And King Louis of FranceXIVordered dance teachers to meet regularly and talk about dances, reflect, take care of their improvement.
By this time, such a form of aristocratic pastime as balls is finally taking shape. The word "ball" means "big dance evening". As you know, in our state balls were introduced by PeterI, then they were called "assembly".
Dance "minuet" performed by high school girls with fans
Terpsichore: And now we will try to remember what dances were in fashion with our grandparents, moms and dads.
At the beginning, a foxtrot appeared, which in English means a fox or a quick step.
In the 1920s, Argentine tango conquered everyone. His true homeland is Spain, his sisters are Spanish flamenco and habanera.
The Czech folk dance "Polka" also quickly spread around the world at the beginning of the century.
Dance "Polka" performed by students of grade 1
In the 40s XXcentury, many new dances appeared: boogie-woogie, twist, shake. And, of course, the famous rock and roll.
Dance "Rock and Roll" performing Terpsichore with a high school partner
Each dance quickly appeared and quickly gave way to a new one. And only one remained timeless. He was born before everyone else. And it sounds both in the open air and in clubs for 200 years! At the sound of this dance, you want to spin.
The first bars of amazing music are captivating. And now their sound captivated us. Waltz was loved by many. And from the first step and forever!
The world of colors and melodies is always open to us,
And in this world today He calls everyone, everyone our waltz!
Dance "Waltz" performs 11th grade
Leading: So you and I have come from the Petrovsky Ball to today's ball, which is called a disco. It sounds completely different music, and the outfits of the dancers are not the same, there are no puffy heavy skirts, high hairdos with curls. After all, all this interferes with modern movements, rhythms.
Make noise, sing, laugh.
At our holiday
Dance what you want
The desired time has come.
Smeshinki - fun
We are called to dance.

Terpsichore (Greek: Τερψιχόρᾱ, Latin: Terpsichorē) is the muse of dance. The character of ancient Greek myths, a popular image and symbol in art. According to Diodorus, she got her name from the enjoyment (terpein) of the audience by the benefits that are in art. Tsets also calls her name among the Muses.
Daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne. Considered the patroness of dancing and choral singing. Depicted as a young woman, with a smile on her face, sometimes in the pose of a dancer, more often sitting and playing the lyre.
The Muses - Terpsichore
Characteristic attributes:
a wreath on the head;
in one hand she held a lyre, and in the other a plectrum.
It is considered the mother of the sirens (father - the god of the river Aheloy) and the singer Lina (according to another version, his mother is another muse Urania). According to Gigin, the mother of Eumolpus.
Mentioned by Pindar. This muse is associated with Dionysus, attributing to her the attribute of this god - ivy (as stated in the inscription on Helicon dedicated to Terpsichore)
Studiolo di belfiore, tersicore di angelo maccagnino e collaboratori di cosmè tura, museo poldi pezzoli.
Today I saw the Muse, patron of the art of Dance. The ancient Greeks called her Terpsichore, and this very name bears the imprint of rhythm and harmony...
But no one pronounces this name anymore, and no one is engaged in art anymore. All aspects of our lives are marked by signs of decay, and the throne of the Muse of the Dance has also been seized by a cult of decadence and degeneration, when the dance mask was put on clumsy body movements that imitate animal instincts.
Raffaello Sanzio. Stanza della Segnatura im Vatikan für Papst Julius II., Wandfresko, Szene: Der Parnaß, Detail: Terpsichore.1510-1511.
Terpsichore and dance were not invented by the ancient Greeks for entertainment and pastime. Muse and dance are the result of a thoughtful contemplation of Nature, where everything moves in rhythm according to unwritten laws.
To understand the spirit of the dance, it is enough to immerse yourself in the rustle of dense foliage. Without leaving the branches, the leaves dance and sing, giving birth to a symphony of green hues that enchants the eye and ear. It is enough to sit on the seashore for a minute, turning your face to it, and surrender to the will of the tireless rhythm with which the waves run ashore. It is enough to trace the flight of a bird or a falling leaf in autumn. Just look at how the clouds dance in the sky, taking thousands of fantastic forms in turn. In the end, it is enough just to be able to read that open book, the pages of which life turns before us every day, but in which we value - and even then not always - only the cover.
Musa-terpsichore
If the eyes cannot see, then the body cannot dance. The piece of matter that we call the body only tosses and writhes, as if in painful convulsions, and does not move in a harmonious rhythm. What remains is a being who unfeignedly craves carnal satisfaction, and not the spiritual enjoyment of beauty.
If the eyes do not see, then there are no sounds to compose music from them. If beautiful melodies sounded, they would awaken in our body the desire to move in time with them, in harmony and in proportion. But we are surrounded by screaming, aggressive music built on dissonances, or cloyingly sugary and slyly tender, and the lyrics are clearly dictated by a degenerate fashion or political system, which is also popular today.

Behind all this tinsel, the truth is not visible. And it lies in the fact that the dance is dead, and its death is the victory of materialism, which promises a false freedom that will never be achieved for the simple reason that it does not exist in those worlds where they are trying to find it. This false freedom is promised by the slogan "do whatever you want, but it will be my way." Or "be more relaxed" - following the imposed fashion. You are obliged to recognize as beautiful that which causes disgust, and, closing your eyes, madly spin and jump, trampling the very memory of the sacred Muse of rhythm and harmony. Amid all the falseness and meaninglessness of words, young people are not only hopelessly far from being able to dance; in their leaps and bodily slovenliness they have become so low and degraded that they completely forgot the grace and grace of movement.
And I called out to Terpsichore. This call was born in the depths of my soul and broke out with force.
Wolfgang Sauber. Villa Mulini - Kommode Goldbeschlag
And she came to me. Every movement of the Muse breathed a grace that clothes could not hide. She walked through time, and her procession was a dance whose movements were music itself. No, Terpsichore is not dead, because beauty never dies. I thought that no one would notice her presence, but everything True is immutable ... The vision was fleeting, but at that moment time and space lost their frightening absoluteness, and fashion bashfully looked down in the face of what was forever, is and will be.
Terpsichore, created 1816 by Antonio Canova (1757-1822), in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
Only for a moment the Muse of the Dance was among us. No one knows her name anymore and will not remember the art that she patronizes, But in someone's wretched body a vague longing has awakened. It lost its wings long ago and can no longer fly or walk. And it can only raise its gaze to a fleeting vision, and the soul implores it to become again the same as before.
After all, the soul knows how to dance. It lives in each of us, and it all depends on how much we fetter it ourselves. If the soul is trembling, the Greeks called it the name of grace and harmony, Terpsichore. And if she cries, what shall we call her?
