CLIO

 CLIO
"Calliope and Clio rest their quills, 
As wise Urania at the chorus thrills"
H.P. Lovecraft, R. Kleiner Laureatus In Heliconem

"KLEIO (Clio) was one of the nine Mousai (Muses), the goddesses of music, song and dance. In the Classical era, when the Mousai were assigned specific literary and artistic spheres, Kleio was named Muse of history. In this guise she was represented holding an open scroll."
Aaron J. Atsma, The Theoi Project: Greek Mythology
