Found this in old holiday pictures I took in a past lifetime. How fucking convenient to have a crow sitting on the head of Thalia...

Certainly, it was why I took the picture in the first place and then promptly forgot about it.

Thalia, Muse of Comedy, is recognised by the ivy wreath in her hair and the shepherd’s crook, the symbol of idyll. According to Greek mythology, the nine muses, the goddesses of music, poetry and subsequently also other intellectual pursuits such as art in its broadest sense, history, philosophy and astronomy were born on Olympus as the daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, and there entertaining the other gods. Meanwhile, they also revealed themselves to human beings, who attributed them with omniscience and a supernatural but strange ability to inspire. The words music and museum are derived from the word muse.
