    Hi,

    are there gods of music at all? I know the Greek muse, Terpsichore. Then there's Pan with his panpipes, who often accompanies Bacchus on his drunken forays. In Indian mythology, as far as I know the nearest to a god of music is Krishna.

    That's all I know, hope it helps a bit at least ...

    Cheers,

    Dear sirs
    Baccus is a God !! Wholly #$%^&. But I don't think he's drunken. It might of been his great grand god. But the present day god is very much productive. I love the way he uses the violins runs.

    LOL!
    Very funny, guys.

    Yeah, Beethoven would definetely be a worthy addition. But then again, so would Wagner, etc.

    But now, seriously, who are the Gods?!?!?! [6]
    I need this info for a Play. The research I´ve done leads me to myriads of pages with wonderful pictures and stories, but I just want the names.

    Yeap. This is definitely getting very close.



    Ok, Elvis lovers. Thank you for further shared knowledge.

    unfortunately in german i tumbled across this (paragraph 2. Chelys):
    http://www.musikarchaeologie.de/altgriechische_musikinstrumente.html
    the Chelys (lyre) was invented by Hermes, later donated to his brother Apollon, who was from now on _the_ god of music ... hermes then invented the Syrinx (pan-flute) for himself as replacement

    No he's not, so don't panic.

    He's simply gone from single malt to blended!
