In ancient Greek mythology, Terpsichore stood out as one of nine powerful Muses and revered goddess of dance and chorus. Her name has become synonymous with the word "terpsichorean," meaning all things related to dance. Typically depicted sitting down, she holds a lyre in hand, creating enchanting music that complements the ballerinas' choirs. Derived from the Greek words "τέρπω" (delight) and "χoρός" (dance), her name embodies the joy of movement. As a goddess, Terpsichore is also credited with being the mother of Parthenope and the sirens.
