[edit]
In poetry, Muses are sometimes called corycians or corycides, as in Akenside's "Hymn to the Naiads":
The immortal Muse
To your calm habitations, to the cave
Corycian … will guide his footsteps.

I removed the above text, since it appears to be original research based on a faulty understanding of Akenside's wording. The "cave Corycian" is quite literally the Corycian Cave — the word "Corycian" is not being used as a noun at all, and certainly doesn't refer to the guiding Muse. --Quuxplusone 02:10, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
