Zeus and Mnemosyne slept together for nine consecutive nights, resulting in nine muses. Mnemosyne is the goddess of memory, and while she slept with Zeus, she also presided over a pool in the underworld, part of the Lethe River (the Lethe River was known for being something of an eraser; when one drank from it, they forgot everything in their past life, countering Mnemosyne's powers). When Mnemosyne was presiding over the pool in underworld, Demeter's daughter, Persephone, was in the underworld for a third of the year with her husband, Hades (king of the underworld), and returned above for part of the year, and her homecoming was called Eleusinia. This is so cool to me because the myth of Demeter and Persephone is part of Chi Omega's history and learning about it makes me feel so much more connected to mythology and to my house. I had no idea all of the twists that the myth had and it's really cool learning about it. 

"And just sometimes, but very rarely, those ties twist and turn and weave around us, until one loose end becomes knotted to another. Then, very softly, they encompass us, they form a circle, which is the crown, perfection." (Calusso, 285).
