Mnemosyne

Mnemosyne is the Titaness of memory and the mother of artistic inspiration. Her Roman name is Moneta, which is also a name for Juno.
==History==
===Early life===
Mnemosyne was born to Gaia and Uranus as the second youngest Titaness next to Rhea. Like her eldest brother Oceanus and the rest of her sisters, she refused to assist Cronus in cutting up their father.
Since Mnemosyne remembered everything, none of her brothers wanted to marry her.
===Birth of the Muses===
After the First Titanomachy, her nephew Zeus fell in love with Mnemosyne, though she didn't want to marry him since he swallowed his previous wife, her niece Metis (mother of the goddess Athena). To trick Mnemosyne, Zeus dressed as a shepherd and went to find her. They slept together for nine consecutive nights before he returned on Mount Olympus. Months later, Mnemosyne gave birth for nine days on Mount Pierus, each day delivering a daughter. These daughters are the Muses, the patrons of several creative arts.
===Creation of the Words===
Mnemosyne created the written words and the first languages in order preserve events and help others to remember information. She kept the family records of the Titans and the Olympians.
One day, Mnemosyne traveled to the Underworld and stood over a black pool that was eventually named after her. It is opposite to the River Lethe as it gives people back their memories instead of making them forget. Using this pool and creating the Throne of Memory, she helped create the Oracle of Trophonius.
