Greek Myth Fashion: The Muses (Part 2)
Hello and welcome back to Greek Myth Fashion, the column that turns Greek mythology into style inspiration. Last time, I started breaking down fashion inspired by the Muses, so now I will continue by showing you three outfits inspired by Clio, Euterpe, and Thalia, and discussing what I think the Muses would be like as college girls.

Clio – Muse of History
Clio is the Muse of history, and the proclaimer and celebrator of great deeds and accomplishments (for example, when somebody goes from zero to hero). She is depicted with either an open scroll of parchment or a set of tablets. The laurel wreath is also one of her symbols.
Products: Dress, Blazer, Earrings, Clutch, Heels, Watch
As a college girl, Clio would definitely be a History major. She would be a hard-working student, and a firm believer that you get what you give. She would be passionate about volunteering, so she would intern for various charities. And I think she would organize an event to celebrate students’ outstanding contributions to campus life and the community.
This outfit inspired by the Muse of history is an elegant and professional one, perfect for a networking event or conference. The dress’ royal print reminds me of something you’d admire in a museum, so pick a similar design and you’ll definitely catch people’s attention. Combine with a black blazer and heels and you’ll have an outfit worthy of a young professional. Accessorize with a silver watch, a pair of ear crawlers, and a clutch reminiscent of Clio’s tablet.
Euterpe – Muse of Music
Euterpe is the Muse of music, song, and lyric poetry. Her symbol is the aulos, the ancient Greek double flute.
