1 - Atticus The Storyteller 100 Greek Myths
2 - Usborne Greek Myths for Young Children
3 - Titans and Olympians Greek and Roman Mythology Myth and Mankind

- Calliope: The Muse of epic poetry and eloquence. She was often depicted with a writing tablet or a scroll.
- Clio: The Muse of history. She was often depicted holding a scroll or a set of tablets, symbolizing the recording of historical events.
- Euterpe: The Muse of music, song, and lyric poetry. She was often depicted holding a flute or a double flute.
- Thalia: The Muse of comedy and bucolic poetry. She was often depicted with a comic mask, a shepherd's crook, or a wreath of ivy.
- Melpomene: The Muse of tragedy. She was often depicted holding a tragic mask and a sword or club.
