Cantaloupe is a Muse, one of the seven patron deities of the performing arts. On Roundworld, Calliope is one of not seven but nine Ancient Greek muses, whereas a cantaloupe is a type of melon.
Annotation
On Roundworld, these are the nine Muses:
- Calliope (the "beautiful of speech", chief of the muses and muse of epic or heroic poetry)
- Clio (the "glorious one", muse of history)
- Erato (the "amorous one", muse of love or erotic poetry, lyrics, and marriage songs)
- Euterpe (the "well-pleasing", muse of music and lyric poetry)
- Melpomene (the "chanting one", muse of tragedy)
- Polyhymnia or Polymnia (the "[singer] of many hymns", muse of sacred song, oratory, lyric, singing and rhetoric)
- Terpsichore (the "[one who] delights in dance", muse of choral song and dance)
- Thalia (the "blossoming one", muse of comedy and bucolic poetry)
- Urania (the "celestial one", muse of astronomy)
What's the betting that on the Disc, Erato will somehow become Errata...?
