Originally (according to Pausanias), there were three: Aédé (the "singing," the "voice"), Melété (the "meditation") and Mnémé (the "memory"). Together, they represent the prerequisites of poetic art in the practice of worship.
In Delphi, they bear the name of the first three strings of a lyre: Aige (Nété), Media (Mesé) and Grave (Hypaté). Cicero has four: Thelxinoé, Aédé, Arché and Mélété. Tradition attributed two residences to them: one on Mount Parnasse, the other on the Helicon.
It was Plato (in Ion) around 401 BC, then the neo-Platonics, who made the nine Muses the mediators between the god and the poet or any intellectual creator. This conception of art (the poet is possessed, transi by the god) will later be challenged by the classicism of Nicolas Boileau, the movement of Art for Art, or the praise of paul Valéry's effort.
