Clio was the muse of heroic poetry and history. She is a daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne. She is often represented with a parchment scroll or a set of tablets and is also known as the Proclaimer. She was one of the nine Mousai, the goddesses of music, song and dance.
CLIO
Muse of History, her name derives from the Greek kleos (glory) or kleiein (to celebrate). She is depicted as a virgin with a laurel wreath, a trumpet in one hand and a volume in the other one.
Hope this helps!

In Greek mythology, Clio (Greek: ÎλειÏ) or Kleio is the muse of heroic poetry and history. Like all the muses, she is a daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne. She had one son, Hyacinth, with the King of Macedonia, Pierus. Some sources say she was also the mother of Hymenaios.
She is often represented with a parchment scroll or a set of tablets and is also known as the Proclaimer. The name is from the root κλÎÏ/κλείÏ, meaning "recount" or "make famous".
The name Clio has also been attributed to:
Clio Awards for advertising and design
The car Renault Clio produced by the French manufacturer Renault.
The asteroid 84 Klio;
A branch of historical methodology called Cleometrics
The family of sea butterflies Clioidae.
The ships HMS Clio (1806) and HMS Clio (1858).
"Cliology," an offshoot of psychohistory, described in Michael Flynn's essay, "An Introduction to Cliology."
The American Whig-Cliosophic Society, the debating society at Princeton University
The Alpha Clionian Sorority[1] at SUNY Geneseo
Clio, Greece, a small village located in the north of Lesvos island
