>>44502254>RealityAs of August 12th, 2020, Merriam-Webster defines a muse as, and I quote, a source of inspiration. The Wikipedia article for "Muses" references earlier editions of the Merriam-Webster dictionary in defining the word "muse" as "anyone or anything which inspires an artist, musician, or writer". Both definitions make no mention of the muse having to be an actual person, let alone one that is well-known to the inspired party.
Your definition is both oddly specific and, near as I can tell, factually incorrect. How did you reach it?
