the muse of history just has to get a look at this human who's been popping up in her scrolls for centuries and getting in the middle of every historical event. and now he's a history professor? what an absolute riot.
and so clio pays hob a visit down at the pub and has a lovely chat, and then casually mentions that, hey so you're dating my sister's ex-husband, huh
and hob is like ?? can't get away from morpheus's family for one godamn second

“The Mousai are always dancing, and the goddesses love to busy themselves with songs and strings. But when they see Apollon beginning to lead the dance, they put their heart into their singing even more than before and send down from Helikon an all-harmonious sound.”
- Simonides, Fragment 578 (from Himerius, Orations)

The Muses being visibly bigger than Apollo (even if it is slightly) is delightful to me
Yes I know these painters probably didn't care too much about anatomy but this is funny regardless
