Urania is the muse of which discipline?
"I call"" (7.5) Urania Urania (; , ""Ourania""; meaning ""heavenly"" or ""of heaven"") was, in Greek mythology, the muse of astronomy. Urania was the daughter of Zeus by Mnemosyne and also a great granddaughter of Uranus. Some accounts list her as the mother of the musician Linus by Apollo or Amphimarus, son of Poseidon, and Hymenaeus also is said to have been a son of Urania. Urania is often associated with Universal Love and the Holy Spirit. Sometimes identified as the eldest of the divine sisters, Urania inherited Zeus' majesty and power and the beauty and grace of her mother"

"(sacred poetry) is often seen with a pensive expression; Terpsichore (choral dance and song) is often seen dancing and carrying a lyre; Thalia (comedy) is often seen with a comic mask; and Urania (astronomy) carries a pair of compasses and the celestial globe. Greek ""mousa"" is a common noun as well as a type of goddess: it literally means ""art"" or ""poetry"". According to Pindar, to ""carry a ""mousa"""" is ""to excel in the arts"". The word derives from the Indo-European root ""men-"", which is also the source of Greek ""Mnemosyne"" and ""mania"", English ""mind"", ""mental"" and ""monitor"", Sanskrit ""mantra"""

However, there were other, similarly martial interpretations of the goddess, as at her Sanctuary at Cythera, where she was worshipped under the epithet Aphrodite Urania, who was also represented as being armed. As this cult of Aphrodite Urania was considered her oldest, it is believed that the martial depiction of the goddess belongs to her very earliest worship, and shows her descent from older, Eastern goddesses like the Sumerian Inanna, the Mesopotamian Ishtar, and the Phoenician Astarte. She was also known by this name on the Areopagus, and at ancient Corinth."

Although Urizen casts her out as being the manifestation of sin, she is actually an essential component in Blake's system to achieving Divine Wisdom. She is a figure of the goddess of wisdom. It is through her that the sons and daughters of Urizen are born. In the original myth, her son Fuzon rebels against his father and is responsible for separating Urizen and Ahania.

Professional mourners, also called moirologists, are compensated to lament or deliver a eulogy and help comfort and entertain the grieving family.
