Talk:Erato

Comments

I believe that the Erato that bore Arcas a child is a different character (a dryad). I've therefore removed the reference to that child in this article. T@nn 15:47, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't think Erato is the muse of crossword puzzles. Crossword puzzles did not exist in ancient Greece. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.250.39.66 (talk) 17:03, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Lavinia's Entry

According to F.A. Todd in the Classical Review (1931), Erato is appropriately invoked as the Muse of Lyric and Love Poetry to mark the entrance of Lavinia into the poem. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.23.128.31 (talk) 02:41, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

Virgil's Aeneid

While interesting that Virgil refers to Erato in The Aeneid (vii.45-54), it is important to note that only a few books later (ix.696) he refers to Calliope as well. This should be clarified.Bobjohnson111980 (talk) 05:32, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Science?

The lede states she is also the muse of science, but this is not expanded on in the article and no sources are given. Wikifan153 (talk) 05:59, 30 September 2025 (UTC)

That statement was referring to the Muses as a collective (the inspirational goddesses of ...). I've removed it, however, in favour of mentioning Erato's specific domain. – Michael Aurel (talk) 08:39, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
