Muse of history (4)

I believe the answer is:

clio

'muse of history' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for clio that I've seen before include "one historically inspiring" , "1 across's Muse - from Renault?" , "one of nine sisters" , "Muse of history (from Renault?)" , "inspiration for historians" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, The Guardian, the Newsday and the Penny Press.
