Muse
In
Greek mythology, the Muses (
Greek , Mousai: perhaps from the
Proto-Indo-European root *men- "think") are a sisterhood of goddesses or spirits, their number set at nine by Classical times, who embody the arts and inspire the creation process with their graces through remembered and
improvised song and stage, writing, traditional music and dance. They were water
nymphs, associated with the springs of
Helicon and with
Pieris, from which they are sometimes called the Pierides. The Olympian system set
Apollo as their leader, Apollon Mousagetēs. Not only are the Muses explicitly used in modern English to refer to an
inspiration, as when one cites his/her own artistic muse, but they are also implicit in the words "amuse" or "musing upon".
