Clio shamed Aphrodite for her love for Adonis , who in revenge inspired her with love for Pierre , from whom she gave birth to her son Gyakinf [5] [6] .
According to FIE , initially it is apparently the muse of a heroic song, a forerunner of fame, and already from the classical era and Hellenism - the patroness of history [7] [2] .
In honor of Clio, the asteroid (84) Clio was discovered, discovered in 1865.
Iconography
She was portrayed as a young woman with a spiritualized, full of deep thought face [7] . In the early tradition, she was depicted with a stylus and with a scroll of papyrus or parchment, or with a case, a box for scrolls [8] .
In 1593, the Italian writer Cesare Ripa in his book “Iconology” proposed the following allegorical attributes for Clio’s images:
- Laurel wreath (symbol of valor and nobility)
- Trumpet (symbol of glory)
- Volume of historical work
A striking example of the use of these attributes by Clio in painting is Vermeer 's painting “ Artist 's Workshop ” (1667).
