Calydon (son of Ares)

Calydon angered the goddess Artemis when he saw her naked, and was then turned into rock as punishment.[1] Calydon was born to Ares, the god of war, and a mortal woman named Astynome.[2] One day, Calydon accidentally came upon the virgin goddess Artemis who was bathing naked.As punishment she turned him into rock, and thus the mountain Gyrus that lay by the Achelous river took his name and was thus called Calydon thereafter.[5] Calydon's story is only preserved in Pseudo-Plutarch's Treatise on Rivers and Mountains (or De fluviis), a work by an author now known not to have been the actual Plutarch.
