In Greek mythology, Aoede /eɪˈiːdiː/ (Ancient Greek: Ἀοιδή, Aoidē) was one of the three original Boeotian muses, which later grew to five before the Nine Olympian Muses were named. Her sisters were Melete and Mneme. She was the muse of voice and song.
She lends her name to the moon Jupiter XLI, also called Aoede, which orbits the planet Jupiter.
