A Muse dates back to Greek mythology. Muses are visible throughout literary history and are alive today!
A Muse Amuses : Yesterday in Greek Mythology and Today in Life > Hey, it's life! Count yourself lucky to actually have a muse! When thinking of "A Muse" throughout history, I think of Greek Mythology. By far, my favorite contemporary interpretation of "a muse" was Sharon Stone's portrayal. If you've not seen the movie, you need to get the DVD.
In Greek mythology, the Muses are nine archaic goddesses who embody the right evocation of myth, inspired through remembered and improvised song and traditional music and dances.
I am a muse of sorts right here on Squidoo! You see, my writing along with helpful comments have served to be a "muse" to many a lensmaster. Oh, and I have been a personal mentor to many as well. I truly have enjoyed helping those who have asked for my help along the way.

The Muse Sharon Stone
In the movie: The Muse 1999
This was such a fun movie with Sharon Stone and Albert Brooks--who was also the director.Plot Summary: What happens when a screenwriter (Brooks) loses his edge, he turns to anyone he can for help... even if it's the mythical "Zeus's Daughter" (Stone). And he's willing to pay, albeit reluctantly, whatever price it takes to satisfy this goddess, especially when her advice gets him going again on a sure-fire script. However, this is not the limit of her help, she also gets the writer's wife (MacDowell) going on her own bakery enterprise, much to the chagrin of Brooks, who has already had to make many personal sacrifices for his own help.

- I like to see how your brain works and here I see it again with all of the directions you take with muses. I'm reading Stephen Pressfield's book, The War of Art, where he talks about resistance versus muses. You might like it. It made me come here to see who had written about muses and here you are.

- The Muse singing in the Twilight Movie-"Super Massive Blackhole".
You know how I enjoy reading things that make me think. It is really funny because until I read this lens, it dawned on me that I have never identified my muse. I know She/He is there but I have not identified them as I have other "Spiritual" beings in my life. My Reiki Spiritual Guide, Cerridwen and so on. Very interesting lens. "Blessed by a SquidAngel"
