According to the earliest Greek writers, the Muses were the inspiring goddesses of song, as well the divinities presiding over the arts, poetry and science. With regard to their number, we're told that originally 3 were worshipped on Mount Helicon and their names were Melete (meditation), Mneme (memory) and Aoede (song).
