ERATO, a muse, could be an inspiration, TO is eThOs regularly, but I don't see the ERA

Should it be valentine day's rather than valentine's day? If so, ignoring the apostrophe would give days for era?

Not sure - ERATO (muse of love) is the inspiration for Valentine's Day, so the ERA bit is overlapping the definition

Valentine can be the card sent on valentine's day and containing love verses (inspired by Erato). This takes 'day's' out of the definition
