- Terpsichore
Meaning
Terpsichore is individually named among the Muses at LXXVI.9. Her name is part of an enumerated invocation, so the present passage supports her membership in that group rather than a separate account of her specialist art. The dancing associations recognizable in the name should not replace what the verse actually says.
