From Greek Goddesses to Rock Gods: the Muse Finding Us
Manage episode 512598580 series 3680771
We explore muses as myth, metaphor, and practice, from Greek goddesses and Homeric invocations to who or what inspired a few rock-and-roll gods. We connect inspiration to memory, trauma, and discipline.
• a film about a muse
• The creative catalysts for some Beatles and Clapton classics
• Greek Muses as daughters of memory and the role of invocation
• Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic and the idea-migration concept
• mundane routines that trigger ideation
• a subway story as a study in noticing what's around you
• trauma-informed character building and credible villains
• ethics of borrowing from real life
• the unreliability of memory and writing from subjective truth
• empathy as a creative muscle that strengthens storytelling
• discipline, time management, and finishing the work
