The Hellenistic sculpture representing a muse is Nike of Samothrace also called Winged Victory of Samothrace (c. 200 BCE-190BCE).

The gods predate history.
The muse of history in Greek mythology is Clio. She is often depicted holding a scroll or a book and is responsible for inspiring historians and writers of historical accounts.
The Nine Goddesses of Art - the Muses - were, according to ancient Greek mythology, daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne. They ruled the arts and sciences and offered inspiration in those areas. Calliope was the Muse of epic poetry, Clio was the Muse of history, Erato was the Muse of love poetry, Euterpe was the Muse of music, Melpomene was the Muse of tragedy, Polyhymnia was the Muse of sacred poetry, Terpsichore was the Muse of dance, Thalia was the Muse of comedy, and Urania was the Muse of astronomy.
There is no Muse. The 9 Muses were the daughters of Zeus and the goddess of memory, Mnemosyne. They were the goddesses of knowledge, poetry etc. From them we get the word Muse-um, museum Clio
Actually, muse isn't just one person. They're are 9 muses. They each have represent a muse. For ex: the muse of music, dance, lyrics, history, astronomy, and so on.... And they're not goddess, but they are all daughters of Zeus.
I thought Calliope was one of the 9 Muses and not a horse?Definition: At one time, the goddesses of inspiring springs, the nine Muses became the representatives of poetry, the arts and science : Calliope, Muse of epic song, Clio, Muse of history, Euterpe, Muse of lyric song, Thalia, Muse of comedy and bucolic poetry, Melpomene, Muse of tragedy, Terpsichore, Muse of dance, Erato, Muse of erotic poetry, Polyhymnia, Muse of sacred song, and Urania, Muse of astronomy.
