Шаблон:Short description In Greek mythology, Callidice (Шаблон:IPAc-en; Ancient Greek: Καλλιδίκη, Kallidikē) is a name attributed to several individuals.

  • Callidice, an Eleusinian princess as one of the daughters of King Celeus and Metaneira, sister of Cleisidice, Demo and Callithoe.[1]
  • Callidice, one of the Danaids. She married (and killed) Pandion, son of Aegyptus[2]
  • Callidice, queen of Thesprotia and wife of Odysseus. She and Odysseus had a son, Polypoetes, together. According to the Telegony (Epic Cycle), Odysseus was sent on another voyage by the gods after killing all of Penelope's suitors. He journeyed through Epirus and came upon the nation of Thesprotis. Callidice urged him to stay and offered him the kingdom of Thesprotia. There he remained for a number of years, marrying Callidice. The Thesprotians, led by Odysseus and Callidice, went to war with their neighbors the Brygoi (Brygi, Brygians) and defeated in battle the neighboring peoples who attacked him. Ares was on the Brygoi side but Athena went to support Odysseus and Callidice by engaging the war god in another confrontation until Apollo separates them. When Callidice died, Odysseus returned home to Ithaca, leaving their son, Polypoetes, to rule Thesprotia.[3]
