Euterpe
is always a great word to know.
So is cornucopia. Does it mean:
| a ten-year war waged by the Greeks under Agamemnon against the Trojans to avenge the abduction of Helen and ending in the burning of Troy |
| a horn containing food or drink in endless supply, said to have been a horn of the goat Amalthaea |
