In Greek mythology, Kalydnos (Ancient Greek: Κάλυδνος, Latinized as Calydnus) was a son of Uranus and the first king of Thebes, after whom the city was thought to have been called Calydna.[1] He was believed to have built the first fortifications of the city, which was why Thebes were sometimes referred to as the "citadel of Calydnus". Calydnus was succeeded by Ogygus.[2][3]

A certain Calydnus was also the mythical eponym of the island Calydna near Troy.[4]
