Clio muse of history fack thee3/2/2024 ![]() We call on Euterpe when we perform our quality assurance processes, ensuring that our proposals harmoniously align with the requirements. She supports our efforts to make our proposal prose poetic and our graphics live in harmony with the text. That love and enthusiasm can be infectious, leading others to engage more fully in the process.Īs the muse of music, Euterpe can be called on to add harmony and grace to poetry, lyrics and prose. She also records new proposal awards and shouts these accomplishments in celebratory cheer for all to hear.Įrato, the muse of love poetry, challenges us to share our love of proposal management with our teams. She teaches us to perform sunset reviews and document lessons learned so we can take them into future proposals. In her role as historian, Clio asks us to record from our proposal history what has worked to date and what has not worked. She also celebrates great deeds and accomplishments, and in this capacity, shares news of these deeds. ![]() Calliope inspires us to respond to requirements with responsive, coherent language instead of boilerplate text filled with jargon.Ĭlio is the muse of history. She is the one who helps us select the best prose for our proposals, craft client-centric executive summaries, and write proposals our clients want to read. Referred to as the superior muse, she protects heroic poems and rhetoric art. Perhaps a closer look at each of the muses will help us better understand how they accompany us on our proposal writing and management journey.Ĭalliope is the muse of epic poetry. We use a combination of leadership, memory and inspiration (the same skills and resources provided by Zeus, Mnemosyne and the nine muses) every day in our proposal writing and management practice. It seems fitting that Zeus - god of the sky, lightning and thunder, and ruler of Mount Olympus - and Mnemosyne, goddess of memory, should join to produce the nine muses. Of course, my personal favorite is still the representation of the five muses who feature prominently in “Hercules,” functioning quite literally as a Greek chorus unfolding the story for us. The 1999 film “The Muse” features a struggling writer who seeks the help of a self-proclaimed “muse,” and the 2007 Broadway musical “Xanadu” features a character named Terpsichore. They appear in Rick Riordan’s mythological series “Percy Jackson & the Olympians” and “The Trials of Apollo.” In 2010, a South Korean singing group debuted under the name Nine Muses. In fact, in both “The Iliad” and “The Odyssey,” Homer asks them to help him tell his story.įast forward, and we find that the muses feature prominently in literature, music, film and theater. For generations, artists, philosophers and writers have appealed to the muses for creative inspiration. Known as the goddesses of creative inspiration, Greek mythographers, as noted in the Greek and Roman Mythology Online Dictionary at the University of Pennsylvania, most commonly speak of the muses as the nine daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory. “All of us - at different times,” the muses responded, or so I imagined as I contemplated my own query. I recently looked up the names of each one, and while refreshing my memory, a question surfaced: “Which muse is with me when I write and manage proposals?” ![]() ![]() While the movie only features five of them, there are actually nine. When my children were young and watched the 1997 Disney animated film “Hercules,” I always found myself drawn to the Greek mythology Muses who narrated the film. “The Muse visits during the process of creation, not before.”-Roger Ebert
