Commentary (3)

Kalydna: an island.

Stephanos also gives a separate notice for a city of Thebes; the entry compresses multiple traditions under one lemma.

AI-detected · source or version · confidence: high

after Kalydnos son of Ouranos

The derivation is only reported by Stephanos; it is an etymological explanation, not necessarily a historical statement.

AI-detected · source or version · confidence: high

Apollo too is 'Kalydneus' and 'Kalydnios'

These divine epithets are cited as local forms from Androtion, not as standard pan-Hellenic names.
