A BUTTER CHICKEN! HATCHLING PROUDLY BRED BY

She just...looked so uncannily like this familar. I have no idea why but I couldn’t bring myself to send her away...the only thing now is to dress and maybe gene her. Oh, and name her after the Greek Muse of Lyric Poetry and Mimicry.

Erato loves to perform and compose music. She’s quite skilled at poetry too, something she’s picked up from her friend Nevermore. Her avian friends (trained well since hatchlings) sing sweetly as accompaniment. Consequentially, she gets on well with TLoMR’s resident poet and the two of them can be seen composing together often. Erato is kind and gentle but has a no nonsense attitude towards people misbehaving during her compositions! She’s the apple of her parent’s eyes! Manteca and Pollo love her to pieces and support her in all of her performances. She has a friendly relationship with her surrogate mother Proserpina too, though Erato does not appreciate the other Skydancer's attempts to 'hook her up' with Nevermore.

312px-Erato_monte_calvo.jpg In Greek mythology, Erato /ˈɛrətoʊ/ (Ancient Greek: Ἐρατώ) is one of the Greek Muses. The name would mean "desired" or "lovely", if derived from the same root as Eros, as Apollonius of Rhodes playfully suggested in the invocation to Erato that begins Book III of his Argonautica.

Erato is the Muse of lyric poetry. In the Orphic hymn to the Muses, it is Erato who charms the sight. Since the Renaissance she has mostly been shown with a wreath of myrtle and roses, holding a lyre, or a small kithara, a musical instrument often associated with Apollo. In Simon Vouet's representations, two turtle-doves are eating seeds at her feet. Other representations may show her holding a golden arrow, reminding one of the "eros", the feeling that she inspires in everybody, and at times she is accompanied by the god Eros, holding a torch.

Erato was named with the other muses in Hesiod's Theogony. She was also invoked at the beginning of a lost poem, Rhadine (Ῥαδινή), that was referred to and briefly quoted by Strabo. The love story of Rhadine made her supposed tomb on the island of Samos a pilgrimage site for star-crossed lovers in the time of Pausanias and Erato was linked again with love in Plato's Phaedrus;[5] nevertheless, even in the third century BC, when Apollonius wrote, the Muses were not yet as inextricably linked to specific types of poetry as they became.

Erato is also invoked at the start of book 7 of Virgil's Aeneid, which marks the beginning of the second half or 'Iliadic' section of the poem: Calliope (epic), even Melpomene (tragedy) or Clio (history) might seem more appropriate. This choice may express Virgil's love for his native land, but in any case shows the need for a new creative force at this change in the direction of the poem.

She is also the Muse of Mimicry, since she is the patron of crows and parrots.
