Η ΜΟΥΣΑ ΚΑΛΛIOΠΗ ΚΑΛΛIOΠΗ - KALLIOPE
Kalliope was the eldest of the Mousai [Muses], the goddesses of music, song and dance. She was also the goddess of eloquence, who bestowed her gift on kings and princes.
In the Classical era, when the Muses were assigned specific artistic spheres, Kalliope was named Muse of epic poetry. In this guise she was portrayed holding a tablet and stylus or a scroll. In older art she holds a lyre.
Her name means "Beautiful-Voiced" from the Greek words Kallos and Ops.
Kalliope was the mother of the bard ΟΡΦΕΥΣ-Orpheus. When her son was dismembered by the Bakkhantes [Bacchantes], she recovered his head and enshrined on the island of Lesbos.
These coins shows Kalliope, the Muse of Epic Poetry standing playing lyre set on column.
