Urania (; ; meaning "heavenly" or "of heaven") was, in
Greek mythology, the
muse of
astronomy and a 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, and
Hymenaeus also is said to have been a son of Urania. She is often associated with Universal Love and the
Holy Spirit. Eldest of the divine sisters, Urania inherited Zeus' majesty and power and the beauty and grace of her mother
Mnemosyne.
