Awright, since you and are the closest things this board has to classicists, I'll have to cheat:

Calliope :: Epic poetry :: Writing tablet
Clio :: History :: Scrolls
Erato :: Love poetry :: Cithara (type of lyre)
Euterpe :: Lyric Poetry :: Aulos (type of flute)
Melpomene :: Tragedy :: Tragic mask
Polyhymnia :: Sacred poetry :: Veil
Terpsichore :: Choral Dance and song :: Lyre
Thalia :: Comedy :: Comic mask
Urania :: Astronomy :: Globe and compass
