either after Kalydon son of Endymion or after Aitolos

Stephanos gives two competing etymologies, preserving variant traditions rather than a single explanation.

AI-detected · source or version · confidence: high

The ethnonyms are 'Kalydonios' and 'Kalydonia'.

These are the Greek adjective and feminine ethnonym/forms; English cannot reproduce the distinction directly.
