In Ancient Greek mythology, the Muses were nine divine sisters who lived on Mount Olympus. They were the daughters of Zeus, king of the gods, and Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory. Originally associated with nature, mountains, and flowing waters, the Muses became the inspiring patrons of the arts and sciences. They entertained the Olympian gods with songs accompanied by the lyre and were admired for their wisdom, beauty, and deep connection to music, poetry, and the fine arts.
