Statue of Calliope

The modern additions of the stylus and the tablet identify the statue as Calliope, muse of epic poetry. She is a Roman copy of the Hadrian period, inspired by the famous group of nine Muses created by Philiskos of Rhodes (2nd Century BC) or, according to more recent studies, by the group created by Lysippus for the acropolis of Megara (317-307 BC). In the Boncompagni Ludovisi Collection she was paired with Urania and displayed in a symmetrical position.这件雕塑上的现代新增配饰——尖笔（stylus）与书写板（tablet），可确定其为史诗诗歌缪斯卡利俄佩（Calliope）。该雕塑为哈德良时期的罗马复制品，其创作灵感源自罗德岛的菲利斯库斯（Philiskos）于公元前2世纪创作的著名九缪斯群像；亦有最新研究指出，其原型为利西波斯（Lysippus）为迈加拉卫城创作的群像（创作于公元前317年至公元前307年）。在邦孔帕尼·卢多维西藏品馆中，该雕塑与乌拉尼亚（Urania）成对陈列，并采用对称布局。
