The Rap Battle You Didn't Even Know You Missed

The Muses and the Pierides challenged each other in song in the most epic rap battle as of date. Unfortunately the only witness was Minerva, who gave the Colloquium Crier the inside scoop.

She says that the Muses thought such a contest was beneath them – but they thought if they refused the challenge they'd end up looking bad all the same.

The Pierides were up first. They sang about the battle between the gods and the Giants. According to the Muse telling the story, the Pierides' song was full of factual errors.

At this point, the Muse asks Minerva if she wants to hear the song the Muses sang in response to the Pierides. Minerva says she would love to hear it. With this encouragement, the Muse continues her story. She says that the nine Muses nominated one of their number – Calliope – to sing for all of them. Then, when Calliope stood forward, she announced that she wanted to sing about Ceres, the goddess of grain.

Basically though, the Pierides were not too kind to the Muses when they said:

"We'll show you girls what real class is

Give up tryin' to decieve the masses, your rhymes are fake"

"Nothin's gonna save you 'cuz your songs are lame

And the way you sing 'em is really a shame"

The real winner of this epic peotry slam though is impossible to determine. The Colloquium Crier is calling for a rematch!
