   Why do poems start with a muse?

   • Many epic poems begin with such an invocation. There were nine Muses—goddesses of literature, the arts, and the sciences—and they were daughters of the most powerful god, Zeus, and Mnemosyne.

   • Like The Iliad, The Odyssey begins with a prayer to the Muse: the poet is a vessel for the goddess's song. We learn that some combination of human error and divine will has delayed Odysseus's and his crew's homecoming. "Start where you will," says the bard to the muse, and so the story begins in the middle of Odysseus's long journey home from Troy.
