From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Polymatheia ( Ancient Greek: Πολυμάθεια, romanizedPolymátheia) in Greek mythology was one of the three Muses recognized at Sicyon, as remarked by Plutarch. [1] Her name literally means " much knowledge, erudition", and Plutarch compares her to Polymnia to whom he ascribes precedence over accumulation and preservation of knowledge.
