Mneme

Μνήμη

Mneme, whose name means memory, is one of the early three Muses in a tradition from Helicon.

Family at a glance

Mneme is listed by Pausanias as one of three Muses at Helicon, with Melete and Aoide. Her name is the plain word for memory, and she should not be confused with her namesake Mnemosyne, the Titaness who is the mother of the nine Muses.

She has no stories of her own.

The ancient evidence for Mneme is limited, so this page is short on purpose.
