Description

Melpomene The Muse. Daughter of Zeus. One of the Nine Muses. MELPOMENE was one of the nine Mousai, the goddesses of music, song and dance. In Classical times, when the Mousai were assigned specific artistic and literary spheres, Melpomene was named Muse of tragedy. In this guise she was portrayed holding a tragic mask or sword, and sometimes wearing a wreath of ivy and cothurnus boots. Her name was derived from the Greek verb melpô or melpomai meaning "to celebrate with dance and song."

I appreciate every one of you. I am also pleased that you consider my art enough to rate it or make a favorite of it. The series of Muses is almost complete. I hope you have enjoyed them as much as I did creating them for your pleasure. Be happy in your art.

Oh my gosh! These just keep getting better! She doesn't look tragic...I suppose that is part of her charm. Her "guise". Terrific, Lea.

Wow! This is just a beautifully lovely image. She looks quite right sitting in that background, which is hard to do using something as busy as a fractal. Very nice colors and overall image :)
