Etymologies

CategoryExplanation
Eponym Person(The island is named) from Mykonos, son of Anius, son of Karystos (and Rhoios of Zarechos).
Folk Etymology NarrativeMykonos is the place under which, they say, the most powerful of the Giants were overthrown by Heracles; from this comes the proverb 'all under one Mykonos'.
Folk Etymology NarrativeAnd some call the bald ones 'Myconians' because this condition (baldness) is native/endemic to the island.
