The poet is informed by the muses
By Michael Hickey, July 1, 2009

“O muses, O high genius, aid me now” Did you ever wonder where a poem comes from or how is it born? Many poets believe that their words are not theirs alone, but involve the work of a muse (from the Greek mousa, which literally means song or poem). Originally, the muses were any of the nine sister goddesses in Greek mythology who presided over song, poetry and the arts and sciences.

The nine use goddesses were Calliope (epic poetry), Clio (history), Erato (love poetry and lyric art), Euterpe (music, especially flute), Melpomene (tragedy), Polymnia (hymns), Terpsichore (dance), Thalia (comedy) and Urania (astronomy). The muses were seen as, the source of inspiration for writing poetry and it was they who guided the poet and formed his or her words.
