The Elder Muses were three or four Titan goddesses, daughters of Gaia and Ouranos;
Melete (Practise)
Aiode (Song)
Mneme (Memory)*
Mnemosyne (Memory)
*This goddess is also sometimes said to be Mnemosyne.
The Nine Muses most familiar are are called the Olympian Nine; said most commonly to be daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne or again, of Gaia and Ouranos. Here, I have included a translation to their names as well as what they were muse of.
Clio (Make-Famous, Celebrate) - history
Urania (Heavenly One) - astronomy
Melpomene (Celebrate with Song ) - tragedy
Thalia (Rich Festivity, Blooming) - comedy
Calliope (Beautiful-Voice) - epic poetry
Erato (Lovely, Beloved) - lyric poetry
Euterpe (Giving Much Delight) - music
Terpsichore (Delighting in Dance) - dance
Polyhymnia (Many Hymns ) - choral poetry
Younger Muses, these muses are least known, but are the reason why Apollo is associated with the Muses at all, they are the daughters of Apollo and muses of the lyre which is one of Apollo's many attributes.
Nete (Lowest note of the Lyre)
Mese (Middle Note of the Lyre)
Hypate (Highest Note of the Lyre)
Counted among the Muses are also mentioned;
Kephiso
Apollonis
Borysthenis
Arche
Thelxinoe
Polymatheia
Neilo
Tritone
Asopo
Herptapora
Akhelois
Tipoplo
Rhodia
However these are just as likely titles of the Muses, alternate names, or simply undefined personalities behind the meaning of the Greek word used.
There are nine muses, daughters of Zeus and the Titaness Mnemosyne, goddess of memory. Calliope was the oldest, and Muse of Epics and mother of Orpheus; Erato, Muse of Lyrics; Euterpe, Muse of Music; Thalia, Muse of Comedy; Melpomene, Muse of Tragedy; Urania, Muse of Astronomy; Clio, Muse of History; and Polyhymnia, Muse of Hymns.
