Mrs. Piozzi Poses as Calliope
Sig. and Mrs. Piozzi will be attending a party for Professor Stern in their new home, Rocca Sorrentina. Mrs. Piozzi is to appear as the muse, Colliope, she who inspired poets and balladeers. Signore Piozzi will be costumed as Orpheus, the father of songs, according to Pindar. According to myth, it was Colliope who taught Orpheus his songs.
What a lovely picture Mrs Piozzi, but I guess you meant Calliope, the muse of epic poetry. But a wonderful idea indeed ...
I did indeed! I don't always appreciate the presence and intervention of the typo police, but, in this case, the comment is welcome.
