In [[Greek mythology]], '''Clio''' (Greek: Κλειώ) or '''Kleio''' is the [[muse]] of heroic poetry and history. Like all the muses, she is a daughter of [[Zeus]] and [[Mnemosyne]]. She had one son, [[Hyacinth]], with the King of [[Macedonia]], [[Pierus]]. Some sources say she was also the mother of [[Hymenaios]].

She is often represented with a parchment scroll or a set of tablets. She is also known as the Proclaimer.

The name is from the root κλέω/κλείω, meaning "recount" or "make famous".
