One of the Muses, the patroness of light poetry; she presided over the triumphs and complaints of lovers, and is generally represented as crowned with roses and myrtle, and holding a lyre in her hand. […] So named from thine own grove, Or from the light thou giv’st us from above.” […] A name of Apollo, signifying light and life. […] He was one of the infernal deities, and resided in a gloomy cave, void of light and air. […] “The light coquettes as Sylphs aloft repair, And sport and flutter in the fields of air.”
