for inspiration to tell the story.
Sing in me, Muse
The muse was invoked by a prayer. Invoking the muse was a common literary convention in Greek epic poems. The narrator would invoke the muse to elicit her assistance in the telling of the story. The goddesses were known to possess knowledge so would be able to guide him to tell the story in the best way.
Homer invokes a muse at the beginning of the epic to ask for divine inspiration and guidance in telling the story. The muse was traditionally believed to be a source of artistic inspiration and knowledge, and invoking her was a way to signal the importance and grandeur of the tale being told. It also helped connect the poem to a larger tradition of epic storytelling.
As a poet, that was his way of honoring the goddess who he thought was helping him compose his epic. In this case it would have been Calliope.
In "Paradise Lost," John Milton invokes the muse a total of three times. The most notable invocation occurs at the beginning of Book I, where he calls upon the "Heav'nly Muse" to inspire him in his epic endeavor. This appeal highlights the poem's grand themes and Milton's desire for divine guidance as he explores profound theological and philosophical concepts.
