Answer 2

In Greek mythology, the Muses (Greek Μουσαι, Mousai: from the Proto-Indo-European root *men- "think", from which mind and mental are also derived[1]) are nine goddesses who embody the right evocation of myth, inspired through remembered and improvised song and traditional music and dances (cf.apsara in the Hindu culture). They were water nymphs, associated with the springs of Helicon and Pieris; from the latter they are sometimes called Pierides. The Olympian system set Apollo as their leader, Apollon Mousagetes. Not only are they used in modern English to refer to an inspiration when one cites his/her own artistic muse, but also in the word "amuse", which is rooted in their name.

According to the 7th century BCE Hesiod's Theogony, they are the daughters of Zeus, king of the gods, and Mnemosyne, goddess of memory. For Alcman and Mimnermus, they were even more primordial, springing from Uranus and Gaia. Pausanias supports that there were two generations of Muses; the first being daughters of Uranus and Gaia, the second from Zeus and Mnemosyne. Another rarer belief is that they are daughters of Harmonia (the daughter of Aphrodite and Ares) which contradicts with the myth in which they were dancing in the marriage of Harmonia and Cadmus.

Compare the Roman inspiring nymphs of springs, the Camenae.

According to 2nd century CE Pausanias there were three original Muses: Aoide ("song", "voice"), Melete ("practice" or "occasion") and Mneme ("memory") (Paus. 9.29.1). Together, they form the complete picture of the preconditions of poetic art in cult practice. In Delphi three Muses were worshipped as well but with other names: Nete, Mesi and Hypate which are the names of the three chords of the ancient musical instrument lyre.

In later tradition, the fourth Muse, Arche, was also considered.

The muses were not assigned standardized divisions of poetry with which they are now identified until late Hellenistic times. The canonical nine Muses, with their fields of patronage, are:

* Calliope (Chief of the muses and muse of epic poetry)
* Euterpe (muse of lyric song)
* Clio (muse of history)
* Erato (muse of erotic poetry)
* Melpomene (muse of tragedy)
* Polyhymnia (muse of sacred song)
* Terpsichore (muse of dance)
* Thalia (muse of comedy and bucolic poetry)
* Urania (muse of astronomy)
