Euterpe, the Muse of Music in Greek mythology

^{Statue of Euterpe at the Achillion palace in Corfu, Greece}

Euterpe, the so-called "Giver of Pleasure", was the Muse of Music.

At classical times, Euterpe became also associated with Lyric Poetry and sometimes Sports. Euterpe was mainly depicted holding a flute.

When the Greek river Strymon once lied with Euterpe, Euterpe brought to life a son with the name Rhesus. Rhesus was a hero of Homer' s Iliad, who was killed by Greek hero Diomedes during the Trojan War.
