There is no tenth muse in mythology. There are the nine best known muses, as well as a trio that pre-dates them, but none that are called tenth. The writer Plato called the poet Sappho of Lesbos "the tenth muse," and the term has since been applied to other female poets, as well as Queen Berenike of Egypt, and various other women.
