The '''Muses''' are a group of nine goddesses in Greek Mythology which are associated with inspiration for those wishing to contribute to the arts. According to [[Hesiod]]'s ''Theogony'', they are the children of [[Zeus]] and Mnemosyne. The Muses do not have direct analogs in Roman Mythology.

In the arts, a muse can also mean the source of a writer or artist's inspiration, most commonly a [[woman]]. Examples include [[Beatrice]] being [[Dante]]'s muse, and Laura being [[Petrarch]]'s muse.
