Clio with a parchment scroll In Greek mythology, Clio (or Kleio / Κλειώ ) was the Muse of heroic poetry and history. She had one son, Hyacinth, with the King of Macedonia, Pierus.

The name is from the root κλέω/κλείω, meaning "recount" or "make famous". Clio was one of the nine muses. She is the daughter of Zeus. She is often seen with a scroll and a chest of books. A genus of polar pteropods was named after her.
