Image:Terpsichore.jpg Image:Statue of Terpsichore.JPG In Greek mythology, Terpsichore ("delight of dancing") was one of the nine Muses, ruling over dance and the dramatic chorus. She is usually depicted sitting down, holding a lyre.
She is sometimes said to be the mother of the Sirens by Achelous.
Her name comes from the Greek words τερπέω "delight" and χoρός "dance".
Terpsichore was portrayed by Rita Hayworth in the 1947 film "Down to Earth" and Olivia Newton-John in "Xanadu" (1980)
