Entertain a goddess, one of nine (5)

I believe the answer is:

amuse

'entertain' is the definition.
(amusing is a kind of entertaining)

'a goddess one of nine' is the wordplay.
'goddess one of nine' becomes 'muse' (one of the nine muses of classical myth).
'a'+'muse'='AMUSE'

(Other definitions for amuse that I've seen before include "Keep occupied" , "Cause to laugh or smile" , "interest" , "Enliven" , "Tickle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
