Abstract
In imperial age, Plutarch wondered what made the greatness of Greece. In this context the three words which are the title of this paper come into play, three words closely interrelated and in turn all related to the divine: muses, enthousiasmos and phantasia. The challenge will be to compare the reading that Plutarch made of these terms to their emergence and thematization respectively in archaic and classical Greece. With the help of some examples, we seek to understand the changing relationship of humans to the divine.
