Forum:Otilia and Moxana

Apparently there haven't any real guesses as to which of the Classical Muses these two correspond to, so I have a thoery for each. Urania was the Muse of both astronomy and astrology, while Moxana was designed as a fortune teller, thematically tying into astrology, and by extension the study of stars. Otilia, I posit is Calliope. I first thought this with Tarvek referring to her as "van Rijn's masterpiece", implying she was the greatest of the Nine, corresponding to Calliope's role as the leader of the Muses. Also, Calliope was the Muse of heroic and epic poetry, which in the Greek context means fighting, which encompasses her swordsmanship, and angelic wings have been a western symbol of virtue and heroism since Rembrandt van Rijn was around.--Necrotas 21:18, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
