Invocation to the Muse

Break It Down! Invocation means to conjure or ask for help. A Muse is a female goddess or spirit that would inspire the creative process.

Let Me “A Muse” You! The Muses were the Greek goddesses of inspiration in literature, science and the arts. They were the daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne (the personification of memory), and they were also considered water nymphs.

Epithet An epithet is a byname, or a descriptive term (word or phrase), accompanying or occurring in place of a name and having entered common usage. It can be described as a glorified nickname. It has various shades of meaning when applied to seemingly real or fictitious people, divinities, objects, etc. It can also be a descriptive title: for example, Auth0r of young Silvius’ birth=Aeneas (He is Silvius’ da).
