Ancient Greecs created the myth about Apollo- the god of Art and 9 muses en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muse inspired 9 main arts. This is the great idea to put together several kinds of art and claimed it as the branches of Art in general meaning. It was great to read about it in Ancient Greecs Gods, Heroes and Myths I had read in my childhood, actually my father`s book. Phylosophy is the Art.
