| ENT_MNEMOSYNE | SRC_HESIOD_THEOGONY | direct attestation | Theogony 135, 915-917: Mnemosyne (Memory) is a Titaness daughter of Ouranos and Gaia; Zeus lay with her for nine consecutive nights and she bore the nine Muses; Hesiod himself invokes the Muses in the opening of the Theogony and names them all (Theogony 52-79); Mnemosyne as mother of the Muses is a distinctly Hesiodic theological idea |
