Summary/Abstract: In his book The Muses, Jean-Luc Nancy states that when we go to the roots of the names of the muses, we find the meanings of enthusiasm, excitement, desire, and haste. At the same time, muses have also been used to mean those who desire to do and know something. In Ancient Greece, the muses define the moment of inspiration itself; artistic creation is chanted by inspiration. In this context, it would not be wrong to say that the muses point to a poetic vitality in Homeric times. Representing a divine power, muses were conceived in plural form in Ancient Greece. In the modern world, our conception has evolved into a different form over time.
