Mnemosina

Mnemosina () është perëndeshë e kujtesës në mitologjinë greke. Fjala "mnemosinë" rrjedh nga i njëjti burim si edhe fjala kujtesë, pasi që mnēmē në greqishten e vjetër do të thotë "përkujtim, kujtesë".  Memory and the name Memnon, as in "Memnon of Rhodes" are etymologically related. Mnemosyne is sometimes confused with Mneme or compared with Memoria. Përndryshe Mnemosina është nëna e nëntë muzave. 

Një titanide ose titanesh, Mnemosina ishte vajza e Titan Uranit dhe Gaias.Hesiod. Theogony, 135 Clement of Alexandria. Recognitions, 31 Diodorus Siculus. Bibliotheca historica, 5.66.3 Sipas mitologjisë greke, nga dashuria mes Zeusit dhe Mnemosinës kishin lindur nëntë muzat:
 Kaliopa (poezi epike) 
 Klia (histori) 
 Euterpa (muzikë) 
 Erata (poezi lirike) 
 Melpomena (tragjedi) 
 Polihimnia (himnet) 
 Terpishora (valle) 
 Thalia (komedi) 
 Urania (astronomia) 

Sipas mitologjisë greke, në Hades, ishte Lumi Mnemosina, si një lloj homologu i lumit të Letit. Shpirtrat e vdekur pinin ujë nga lumi Leto, në mënyrë që pas rimishërimit të mos kujtonin jetën e tyre të dikurshme. Kushdo që pinte ujë nga lumi Mnemosina do të kujtonte gjithçka dhe do të dinte gjithçka.
