ERATO #62
.. The feminine counterpart of Eros."Erato was named after the Muse of lyric poetry.
Astrologically, Erato seems to indicate lyric as opposed to epic poetry, singing the praises of something or somebody, to talk about love, to be concerned with something or somebody."
"Astrologically, Erato seems to indicate lyric as opposed to epic poetry, singing the praises of something or somebody, to talk about love, to be concerned with something or somebody."
"Named after the Greek muse of poetry, concerned with love as opposed to consummation."
"Erato, is one of the Nine Muse Asteroids. I read somewhere recently that it is the "feminine of Eros." whatever that means, and of course, the muse of love poetry. Erato is that which inspires the expression of love and passion in words, both written and spoken, poetry and prose."
"Erato is the Muse of lyric poetry. Anyone named after the muse can often be mistaken for an angel because of their beautiful appearance and loving personality. In the Orphic hymn to the Muses, it is Erato who charms the sight. Since the Renaissance she is often shown with a wreath of myrtle and roses, holding a lyre, or a small kithara, a musical instrument that Apollo or she herself invented[citation needed]. In Simon Vouet's representations, two turtle-doves are eating seeds at her feet. Other representations may show her holding a golden arrow, reminding one of the "eros", the feeling that she inspires in everybody, and at times she is accompanied by the god Eros, holding a torch."
