469: muse and mosaic Mar 21, 2016

Muses by nature inspire art and creativity. Moreover, the word 'muse' has inspired how we think about art less directly. 'Music' derives from the Greek word "mousikē (tekhnē )" which means ‘(art) of the Muses,’ ultimately from 'mousa', the word for ‘muse’. Likewise, 'mosaic' derives from the French 'mosaïque', which gets its origins from the Greek 'mousa'.
