In ancient Greece the Muses were goddesses of inspiration for artists and musicians and have remained powerful metaphors of the creative process in the contemporary world. This presentation, by Dr. Diana Walsh Pasulka, Religious Studies Professor at University of North Carolina and author of American Cosmic, will go beyond the metaphoric interpretation and explores instances when these goddesses were perceived as real, exploring even contemporary research into extreme creativity that reveals that the human brain believes it is being used by “external agents” to create culture-changing products and creations.
