Introducing Polyhymnia!
So, another of the 9 Muses joins, hopefully there is rejoicing!
I'm Sarah, new, and I bring with me a lonely little cowgirl with a lot on her shoulders. The youngest Muse, dedicated to sacred poetry, meditation, contemplation and agriculture, Polyhymnia was always a pretty serious gal (unless one of her sisters, usually Thalia, could get her to lighten up!). A wanderlust, but given to loneliness, she's attached herself to two of the Mousai Apollonides-Hypate and Nete-who are the high and low notes of the lyre. They are psychologically attached to her, and both help her and pull her down at the same time. She traveled all over Europe during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, inspiring tons of religious songs, and made it to America with the explorers. Finding America a mixed bag (and not liking the Puritans' love of hellfire and brimstone), she attached herself on plantations to inspire the spirituals of the slaves. She loved the country, and over time came to inspire (and sing!) country and folk music. She performs with her companions (now known as Tammy and Tina) under the name Polly Kokinos and The Twins. Though she loved traveling the open road, as the 21st century has rolled around, she decided she needed to hunker down awhile. She's gone to New York to try and be closer to her sisters, even if the big city makes her nervous. Her&the girls live in a loft in Chelsea in a barely renovated warehouse and she's bought an old diner that she's been refurbishing, The Poet and the Pea. It has a stage, piano and a jukebox, so it's pretty much heaven to Polly.
There's more in her bio, so check her out. I'm excited to play, and interested in any plot ideas/etc with your kiddos :)
