Muses "music", and "musing upon". In current literature, the influential role that the Muse plays has been extended to the political sphere. In "Down to Earth", the Muses, espcially Terpsichore (Rita Hayworth), are offended by a vulgar Broadway musical called "Hot Muses", in which they are portrayed as besotted by two American flyers who crash-land on Parnassus. Terpsichore masquerades as a mortal to get the show "improved". All nine Muses appear in the 1980 film "Xanadu", with actress Olivia Newton-John as Terpsichore. Many of the Greek gods, including five of the Muses (Thalia, Clio, Calliope, Melpomene, and Terpsichore) appear in the
Greek name to as "María Ioánnou Papadopoúlou" and "Andréas Ioánnou Papadópoulos". If Mary then marries George Demetriádes, she may retain her original name or choose to be called "María Geōrgíou Demetriádou". If she is widowed, she will revert to her father's patronymic but retain her husband's surname to become "María Ioánnou Demetriádou".
