Clio
is always a great word to know.
So is Paris. Does it mean:
| a daughter of Oedipus who defied her uncle, King Creon, by performing funeral rites over her brother and condemned to be immured alive in a cave |
| a Trojan prince who awarded the apple of discord to Aphrodite and was by her help enabled to abduct Helen |
