Description:
Large Marble Statue of Cleo, Muse of History
Cleo is the muse of history. Like all the muses, she is a daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne. She had one son, Hyacinth, with the King of Macedonia, Pierus. Some sources say she was also the mother of Hymenaios. She is often represented with a parchment scroll or a set of tablets and is also known as the Proclaimer. The name is from the root, meaning "recount" or "make famous". This statue is in good condition with a tight age crack on the back, and a small tight internal crack on the front near her parchment.
