Apollo used to read and sing asclepius and all of his other godly children to sleep

Apollo and the little muses; aka the muses of the lyre; aka Cephisso, Apollonis and Borysthenis; aka Nete, Mese and Hypate cause Apollo nicknamed them after the strings of the lyre which I find adorable☺️

As to why Apollo’s playing a kemanes instead of a lyre, all I can say that it made sense at some point after way too much overthinking but I cannot recreate that logic anymore.

THE MOUSAI APOLLONIDES 

They were three younger Muses, daughters of the god Apollon. They were honoured at the shrine of Delphi.  

The three were sometimes called Nete, Mese, and Hypate after the lowest, middle and highest strings of the lyre.

The Apollonides were one of three sets of Muses–the others being the Olympian Nine and the Titanid Three.
