Krewe of Muses Parade Parade City: New Orleans (Orleans Parish) Map It Parade Date: February 19, 2009 Description: Parade Time is 6:00 pm The Muses are the Greek goddesses who presided over the arts and sciences. They were believed to inspire artists, especially poets, philosophers and musicians. Daughters of Zeus, king of the gods, and Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory, they were born at the foot of Mount Olympus in Pieria. Their name denotes memory or a reminder, since early poets had no books to read from and thus relied on memory alone. www.kreweofmuses.org
