Clio

Meaning

Clio opens the sequence of individually named Muses at LXXVI.8. The line identifies her through the collective invocation and her neighbours Euterpe and Thaleia, not through a separately assigned field of knowledge. “Muse of history” would be an external classification rather than the content of this occurrence.
