Muses Cabin (35)

**The Muses Cabin (Cabin 35)** is the cabin that houses the children of the Nine Muses, Greek/Roman goddesses of music, dance, poetry, and inspiration.

## Claiming and Cabin

When one of the Muses claims her children, her symbol appears over the child's head.

1. Calliope - writing tablet
2. Clio- scrolls
3. Erato - Cithara (an ancient Greek instrument in the lyre family)
4. Euterpe - Aulos (an ancient Greek, flute-like instrument)
5. Melpomene - tragic mask
6. Polyhymnia- veil
7. Terpsichore - lyre
8. Thalia - comic mask
9. Urania - globe and compass

The cabin itself looks normal, but there is a wreath of the Muses' symbols of power over the door. On the inside, the cabin looks like a combination of a cabin, dance studio, music store, and writing room.
