Those of you familiar with the finer points of Greek mythology will be aware of the Muses, the daughters of Zeus who were goddesses of the arts and culture and inspired creativity in mankind.
Now they are being revived for the modern age in a new children’s comic book series from Bluewater Productions called The Myth Adventures of the Muses. Each issue will focus on one of the goddesses.
In the first issue – due out later this month – we will meet Terpsichore, the muse of dance, as she travels to the mortal world and encounters one of the most famous and well-respected dancers in modern history.
Writer C.W. Cooke said: “Working on the Myth Adventures of the Muses has been a dream come true. It plays to my love of Greek mythology and allowed me to delve deep into that history. Hopefully my love of the mythology will come out in my writing.”
Publisher Darren G Davis said: “I am obsessed with bringing the muses to the masses. I have always wanted to do a book that inspired kids and this is finally it.”
Bluewater also publishes 10th Muse, a comic book in which an ordinary girl called Emma Sonnet disappears for eight years and returns as the eponymous character – a mysterious goddess forgotten by history and undocumented by myth.
