Clytius ( ancient Greek Κλύτιος ) is in Greek mythology the son of Eurytos king of Oichalia, and Antiope . Hesiod calls his mother Antioche.

Klytios is the brother of Iphitos , Toxeus and Deion as well as the Dryope and the Iole . He is one of the Argonauts and was killed on the way by Aietes . After Diodorus , however, he died when Heracles conquered Oichalia after Eurytus had withheld the hand of the Iole from the hero, although he had successfully completed the task required for this.
