'a bewildering thing to do' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'to live with a goddess' is the wordplay.
'to live' becomes 'be' ('be' can be a synonym of 'live').
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'a goddess' becomes 'muse' (I've seen this in other clues).
'be'+'muse'='BEMUSE'

'is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bemuse that I've seen before include "Puzzle and confuse" , "Fox" , "Stupefy, puzzle" , "Muddle or stupefy" , "Confuse, bewilder" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
