Clio Image

CLIO. In Grecian mythology, one of the Nine Muses (q.v.). When to the individual muses specific functions were assigned, Clio was at first called muse of epic poetry; later, and more commonly, she was regarded as the muse of history. In ancient art her common attribute is a partly opened roll.
