In Greek mythology, Euterpe (; (ギリシア語:Eὐτέρπη), (:efˈterpi), ; "rejoicing well" or "delight" from Ancient Greek εὖ 'well' + τέρπειν ''terpein'' 'to please') was one of the Muses, the daughters of Mnemosyne, fathered by Zeus. Called the "Giver of delight", when later poets assigned roles to each of the Muses, she was the muse of music. In late Classical times she was named muse of lyric poetry〔Bulfinch, Thomas. The Age of Fable. Dell Publishing, 1959. Print.〕 and depicted holding a flute. A few say she invented the ''aulos'' or double-flute, though most mythographers credit Marsyas with its invention. Pindar and other sources (the author of the ''Bibliotheca'' and Servius), describe the Thracian king Rhesus, who appears in the Iliad, as son of Euterpe and the river-god Strymon; Homer calls him son of Eioneus.〔''Brill's New Pauly'', entries for "Rhesus" and "Euterpe."〕 ==See also== * Muse * Muses in popular culture * Euterpe by Paul-Jacques-Aimé Baudry 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Euterpe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
