Inspiring goddesses (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

muses

(Other definitions for muses that I've seen before include "In Greek and Roman myth, nine goddesses of the arts" , "Nine Greek and Roman goddesses presiding over the arts" , "Ponders like nine goddesses of Roman myth" , "Sources of artists' inspiration" , "Ponders with goddesses of the arts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
