<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 333637, member: 5833&quot;]This is where I put on my snotty pedant&#039;s voice to ask, Terpsichore according to whom?&nbsp; Have never seen anyone look less dance-y, while she fits quite well with the <a href="http://www.beazley.ox.ac.uk/XDB/ASP/browse.asp?PageSearch=true" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.beazley.ox.ac.uk/XDB/ASP/browse.asp?PageSearch=true" rel="nofollow">conventions for depicting Erato</a>.&nbsp; Terpsichore seems to have been used much less than Erato in neoclassical art.</p><p><br /></p><p>And in her super-snotty voice, she says, the instrument appears to be the similar-looking kithara, rather than a lyre.&nbsp; Apollo has been portrayed with each &amp; so have the ladies he oversees.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am going to be struck down for hubris one of these days, but have learned not to assume everything even the most esteemed authorities say is true.&nbsp; A search in the same database for Terpsichore returned only a few results with images, &amp; one of them was the Muse Urania.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie25" alt=":bookworm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
