Muse of History
Clio was the Greek Muse of History. She is the mother of Hyacinth (a nature deity who was accidentally killed by Apollo, after which Apollo turned his spilled blood into the flower Hyacinth). She was credited for introducing the Phoenician alphabet into Greece. Her attribute is usually a parchment scroll or a set of tablets. Another stamp of Clio.

Medusa

In Greek myth, to look upon the Gorgon Medusa would turn a man to stone. Perseus beheaded Medusa and used her head as a weapon until he gave it to Athena (Athena's shield was often depicted with Medusa's head upon it). I think it's a beautiful illustration that can be stamped and rotated to form an interesting diamond-shaped background texture.

Apollo
Based on the Renaissance Tarot of Andrea Mantegna.

The son of Zeus and Leto, and the twin brother of Artemis, Apollo was the god of music (principally the lyre, and he directed the choir of the Muses) and also of prophecy, poetry and dance. Note the swans in the illustration (Apollo rode on the back of a swan to the land of the Hyperboreans during the winter months, a swan that he also lent to his beloved Hyacinthus to ride).
