From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, Euterpe (Eὐτέρπη) (pronounced /juːˈtɜrpiː/, [eʊ̯térpὲː] in Ancient Greek, or [ɛfˈtɛrpi] in Modern Greek; "rejoicing well" or "delight" from Ancient Greek εὖ (well) + τέρπειν terpein (to please)) was one of the Muses, the daughters of Mnemosyne, fathered by Zeus. Called the "Giver of delight", when later poets assigned roles to each of the Muses, she was the muse of music. In late Classical times she was named muse of lyric poetry and depicted holding a flute. A few say she invented the aulos or double-flute, though most mythographers credit Marsyas with its invention. The river god Strymon impregnated Euterpe; her son Rhesus led a band of Thracians and was killed by Diomedes at Troy, according to Homer's Iliad.
Euterpe Sanat is an art group in Turkey in İzmir. Also the first theatre which was founded in İzmir is Euterpe. Euterpe Sanat was founded secondly by Ulaş Tuzak and Atilla Ertörer.
