Definition
A genus of marine organisms (archaic/obsolete term) or a reference to ancient Calydon, a region in Greek mythology known from the Meleager legend.
Etymology
Either derived from ancient Greek Kalydon (a place in Aetolia, Greece), or possibly a taxonomic genus name formed from Greek kalyx (cup) plus -don. The mythological origin is more historically established.
Kelly Says
Calydon is famous in Greek mythology as the home of the Calydonian Boar—a massive monster sent to destroy the land because a king forgot to honor the goddess Artemis. Talk about consequences of bad manners!
