Polyhymnia - from Greek Πολύμνια (polymnia, '[she of the] many hymns') - is, in Greek mythology, one of 'the sacred nine', the Nine Muses. She is the Muse of sacred verse and hymns; she is also said to be the Muse of geometry and mediation, and is portrayed as serious and solemn. Her name is pronounced, in English, 'poll-y-HIM-ni-er', IPA: /pɒl ɪ ˈhɪm nɪ ə/.
- Polyhymnia is the title of a poem by George Peele, published in 1590.
