THE MUSE CLIO Clio is "The Proclaimer" and is known as the Muse of History.  Often she is seen sitting with a scroll near a chest of books.  She is credited with introducing the Phoenician alphabet into Greece. She teased Aphrodite's love of Adonis and the consequence was that she fell in love with Pierius, the son of Magnes and the king of Macedonia.  With Pierius, she gave birth to Hyacinth.   detail from "The Allegory of Painting" The Muse Clio by Vermeer "Majestic Clio touched her silver wire, And through time's lengthened vista moved a train, In dignity sublime;--the patriot's fire Kindled its torch in heaven's resplendent ray, And 'mid contention rose to Heaven again."
