Muses Memory Theatre
I was staring at my phone when thinking of a way to memorize the list of muses aka CCUTETEMP, when it hit me. Why not treat the muses as a list of contacts. Calliope was the first to and easiest since in order to contact somebody the first thing you would usually do is call them, and we all now epic it can be to try and get a hold of someone. Next comes Clio. I thought of the lady you once could call on the Psychic Network, Miss Cleo, but instead of your future she tells your past. Urania came to mind after noticing there is an astrology app on my phone. My friend Terry plays the harpsichord which brought Terpsicore to mind and the ways of dance. Erato, after hearing her name I instantly thought of where Rio works so that was a no brainer. I have a friend named Thalia and she is a jolly, comical person, making my life in memorization that much more of a breeze. Euterpe happened to be a little harder, but after some research on my phone i discovered there is a generic ring tone on my phone name eureka. It has a fluty type tone and so she was linked. I couldn't find anything in my phone for Mnempone n thought of how tragic it was and then, BAMN, i had a way to remember her. And last but not least Polyhymnia. Her name already states her purpose but I was determined to link her in some way. I thought of the game Hexic, a game that uses polygons and has hymnal type music in the background. All in all a weird system but it has been working for me. On occasion I do forget, but the memory system is helping to improve my grasp of the muses.
