Invoke Mnemosyne.
These words were once spoken and written by every Musician, Playwrite, Bard, Poet, Ashavana, Philosopher, Artist, Wiseman — which called upon God of Story and Memory — Mnemosyne — to help them remember.
Every word written. Every Story Told. Every Song sung, was once a Gift to her.
The Mother of The 9 Muses.
Her Name means “Memory” and she was Goddess — Titan — of Water. She sat as High as Anu of Ur and Gaia. And we have forgotten her.
The Romans replaced her with another God called “Money,” which is where the word came from. From Mnemosyne’s Latin Name. Her Temples were taken and used to Mint Roman Coin and soon Memory was Forgotten.
If Gods do exist — and if I had the power to Curse something that replaced me and stole my Books, took my Stories, and Stole my Name — I would curse it. So that anyone who pursued that Roman Coin… Would Forget.
And since Mnemosyne is God and is Water and is Memory and is Everywhere — If Gods exist — that is one God I would REALLY — REALLY be careful not to piss off.
Funny how, after Mnemosyne was forgotten, Bards and Musicians began to Starve, most of them rarely able to even touch Roman Coin.
This Essay dives into the Correlation, The History, and also, restores Memory. Just one of the countless Treasures lost in Alexandria. May the Wisdom, Truth, and Knowledge never be lost again.
Invoke Mnemosyne.
