Muse

The original Muses were minor goddesses in ancient Greek mythology said to inspire artistic endeavours. They were so popular that the original three goddesses were said to be the children of many different sets of gods; the result being that the Muses eventually tripled in number to accommodate everyone's desires, establishing a full set of nine goddesses.

Izadore refers to the modern day Muses as 'Muses of Apollo'. After spotting the ghostly image of Aoide, the first Muse of musical inspiration, Izy tells Lucas that the blood of Muses still exists, traces of it scattered throughout the human population. He says that when a Muse inspires a Host, it is an incredibly powerful effect. The two agree to go on a quest to cities with major art centers to see if they can find any modern day Muses.
