THE MUSE POLYHYMNIA Polyhymnia ("She Of Many Hymns") is the Muse of Sacred Poetry and Sacred Hymns.  It is said She brings distinction to writers whose works have won them immortal fame.  She has also been called the Muse of geometry, mime, meditation and agriculture. Polyhymnia is the youngest of the 9 Muses.  She has a very strong love of lyric poetry.  Often She can be found in a garden, musing about the flowers.  She is very friendly by tradition.  Yet many artistic renderings depict her as serious and studious. "The rage of Pindar filled the sounding air, As Polyhymnia tried her skill divine; The shaggy lion roused him from his lair, And bade his blood-stained eyes in fury shine; The famished eagle poised his waving wings, Whetting his thirsty beak--while murder rose, With hand that grasps a dirk, with eye that glows" from "An Ode To Music", by James G.
