    "the words for the poet's understanding [..] and the remembering [..] are all derivatives of the root *men- expressing active mental force, thinking, perceiving, remembering. So too is Greek Μοῦσα (Aeolic Μοῖσα) 'Muse', daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne 'Memory': Proto-Greek *montwa from *mon-tu-h, cf. Vedic mantu-, amantu- '(un)caring, (un)mindful'. The inspiration of the divine Muse is thus only a personification of the trained mind of the poet."
