Calliope…
Calliope, or, Kalliopē “beautiful-voiced” in Greek was the muse of epic poetry, and as with all the the other muses at La Muse, she was the daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne.
She also had two well known sons in mythology: Orpheus and Linus, although the father, as with all mythology is often left dubious. One contender is Apollo, the other king Oeagrus of Thrace.
She taught Orpheus how to sing and, according to the Argonautica married Oeagrus close to Pimpleia:
First then let us name Orpheus whom once Calliope bare, it is said, wedded to Thracian Oeagrus, near the Pimpleian height. Men say that he by the music of his songs charmed the stubborn rocks upon the mountains and the course of rivers. And the wild oak-trees to this day,tokens of that magic strain, that grow at Zone on the Thracian shore,stand in ordered ranks close together, the same which under the charm of his lyre he led down from Pieria.
In art she nearly always has a writing tablet in her hand and at times she’s depicted carrying a roll of paper or a book.
Calliope is a double room with its own private living room as well as and ensuite spa bathroom (a deep, long tub with a view of the valley and a separate walk-in shower, all newly renovated).
The salon is well-furnished sitting room with two desks, a twin-bed settee, two large French windows overlooking the valley, and a wood burning stove in a marble fireplace for your use.
The bedroom also has a valley view. The room is a quiet haven with a queen-size bed. It is also on the first floor.
