Fortunate is the one whom the Muses
love; a sweet voice flows from his mouth.
For even if a man has grief in his newly saddened mind
and lives in fear because his heart aches, yet when a singer,
a servant of the Muses, sings of the glorious deeds of earlier men
and of the blessed gods who dwell on Olympus,
then he quickly forgets his troubles and does not remember
his sorrows; the gifts of the goddesses quickly cure him.
from the Theogony by Hesiod, 8th century BCE
