Dancer at Tivoli Theatre

    Explanation of the Word “Music”

    From the Greek “muses” who were the 9 daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne. As legend has it,
    the muses had no individual attributes for a very long time and they equally patronized every
    form of music and poetry. The muses only developed individual characteristics in the 4th century
    B.C.
    The 9 Muses are:
    1. Calliope—Patron of the epic poem
    2. Clio—Patron of history
    3. Terpsichore—Patron of light poetry and dancing
    4. Melpomene—Patron of tragedy
    5. Thalia—Patron of comedy
    6. Polyhymnia—Patron of lyric poetry
    7. Erato—Patron of elegiac poetry
    8. Urania—Patron of astronomy
    9. Euterp—Patron of Music
    The Greeks word for museum, mouseion, referred to a shrine with priests and sacrifices that was
    centered on a cult for the muses.

    The exotic dancer in the photo is most likely playing the role of a muse, named Terpischore a patron of light and dancing. As explained in my previous comment. I could not discover the identity of the dancer, yet at least there it seems she performed in Tivoli theatre in a role originating from Greek mythology.

    Also, it seems the word is spelled as Terpischore rather than Terpoichore, as the writing on the photo also confirms.
  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    In Greek mythology, Terpsichore (/tərpˈsɪkəriː/; Τερψιχόρη, "delight in dancing") is one of the nine Muses and goddess of dance and chorus.[1] She lends her name to the word "terpsichorean" which means "of or relating to dance".

    Terpsichore is usually depicted sitting down, holding a lyre, accompanying the dancers' choirs with her music.

    Terpsichore was also said to be the mother of the Sirens (including Parthenope) by the river-god Achelous.
