Mythological lyrist (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erato

'mythological lyrist' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for erato that I've seen before include "One of nine" , "Who may have inspired poetry" , "Source of poetic inspiration" , "Poetic Muse ; eighteen (anag.)" , "Inspiring female" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Daily, The Washington Post and The New York Times.
