Detail of painting The Muses Urania and Calliope by Simon Vouet, in which she is holding a copy of the Odyssey In Greek mythology, Calliope (/kəˈlaɪ.əpiː/ kə-LY-ə-pee; Ancient Greek: Καλλιόπη, Kalliopē "beautiful-voiced") was the muse of epic poetry,[1] daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne, and is believed to be Homer's muse for the Iliad and the Odyssey .[2] Calliope is usually seen with a writing tablet in her hand.

At times, she is depicted as carrying a roll of paper or a book or as wearing a gold crown. The Italian poet, Dante Alighieri, in his Divine Comedy, makes reference to Calliope, "Here rise to life again, dead poetry! Let it, O holy Muses, for I am yours, And here Calliope, strike a higher key, Accompanying my song with that sweet air which made the wretched Magpies feel a blow that turned all hope of pardon to despair.

LJ Explores the Big Tools This is the third in a series of articles this spring devoted to new developments in major tools for libraries. Toleration and the Future of Europe. Timothy Snyder Historisches Museum, Vienna Franz Geffels, The Battle of Vienna, 1683 In Anders Breivik’s manifesto, the ostensibly Christian defeat of the Ottoman armies at Vienna in 1683 is the central historical event. He imagines a European rebirth in 2083, four hundred years later, and names the Polish king Jan Sobieski, whose troops were crucial to raising the Ottoman siege, as one of his heroes: “John III Sobieski and the Holy League successfully defended Europe against an army of more than 150,000 Muslims.” Breivik thinks Europe today is again under siege from Muslims, and that Europeans must resort to “atrocious, but necessary” violence to defend it. It is unsurprising that what Breivik has to say about European history is trivial.

The plagiarism of his manifesto recalls Hannah Arendt’s point that those who do great evil may themselves be incapable of cultural creation.

The superficiality of his worldview recalls her notion that the greatest of evils has no roots, and therefore has no bounds. Digital Resource for Palaeography. Digital Resource for Palaeography. Literature & Poetry Sites. Literature Web Sites. General Research Websites. Articles & Essays.
