Kleio, also known as Clio, is one of the nine Muses and is named the Muse of history. Her name is derived from the Greek verb kleô, meaning “to make famous” or “to celebrate.” A daughter of Zeus and the Titaness Mnemosyne, goddess of memory, Kleio is considered to dwell at either Mount Helicon or Mount Parnassos, or Pieria in Thessaly, near to Mount Olympus. She is often depicted holding an open scroll or seated beside a chest of books. In this rendering, Kleio is at study in her library, surrounded by tomes and scrolls of historic importance.
