muse

Since ancient times, the Muses have been regarded as a divine source of inspiration for poets - the creator of a talented work of art was called awarded the kiss of the Muse. According to the ideas of the ancient Greeks, outstanding ideas arose not as a result of the mental process of a person, but were bestowed from above by the gods (or muses). According to Greek mythology, the Muses are the nymphs of the springs, the nine sisters, the daughters of Zeus and the goddess of memory and memories, Mnemosyne. The Muses are the companions of Apollo, the patron god of the arts, and live on the top of Mount Helikon.
