![]() ![]() In her capacity as “the proclaimer, glorifier and celebrator of history, great deeds and accomplishments,” Clio is the namesake of various modern brands, including the Clio Awards for excellence in advertising. Some sources say she is also the mother of Hymenaios. Other accounts credit her as the mother of Linus, a poet who was buried at Argos, although Linus has a number of differing parents depending upon the account, including several accounts in which he is the son of Clio’s sisters Urania or Calliope. ![]() She had one son, Hyacinth, with one of several kings, in various myths-with Pierus or with king Oebalus of Sparta, or with king Amyclas, progenitor of the people of Amyclae, dwellers about Sparta. Along with her sister Muses, she is considered to dwell at either Mount Helicon or Mount Parnassos. Other common locations for the Muses are Pieria in Thessaly, near to Mount Olympus. Like all the muses, Clio is a daughter of Zeus and the Titaness Mnemosyne, goddess of memory. DepictionĬlio, sometimes referred to as “the Proclaimer”, is often represented with an open parchment scroll, a book, or a set of tablets. EtymologyĬlio’s name is etymologically derived from the Greek root κλέω/κλείω (meaning “to recount”, “to make famous” or “to celebrate”). The name’s traditional Latinisation is Clio, but some modern systems such as the American Library Association-Library of Congress system use K to represent the original Greek kappa, and ei to represent the diphthong ει (epsilon iota), thus Kleio. In Greek mythology, Clio (traditionally /ˈklaɪoʊ/, but now more frequently /ˈkliːoʊ/ Greek: Κλειώ), also spelled Kleio, is the muse of history, or in a few mythological accounts, the muse of lyre playing. ![]()
