No goddess carried a lyre, however Apollo, a god, did. You may be thinking of the Muses, who did not count as goddesses. Terpsichore, muse of dance, would carry a lyre. So did Erato, muse of lyric poetry, although her instrument was a cithara, an instrument related to the lyre.
What are Muses the Greek god weakness?
The nine muses were minor goddesses whose parentage is not clearly known. They often called the handmaidens, companions or even daughters of Apollo. The muses are the goddesses of the inspiration of literature, science and the arts. They are reffered to in many poems and storys in history. Shakespeare mentioned them in his play Henry V. It's not known what the weaknesses of these mythical beings aka gods are (if they have any)because when they were created in the mind of the ancient greek people so they saw there gods as perfect and therefore having no weakness. However if we look at ancient texts such as the Illiad we can see that the gods have many flaws e.g. pride, vanity (in some cases extreme narcissism) and lust. These could be classed as weaknesses. As for physical weaknesses: The gods could be wounded and bleed golden ichor. They could even be obliterated and spread so thinly across the earth that they would never come back fully. But they could never be killed. They did not have human souls and are therefore incapable of dying and must stay the same for eternity.
