Kalydon, an ancient city in Aitolia on the ridges of mount Arankynthos is already mentioned in the Iliad. It is the scene of the struggle between Herakles and the river god Acheloös, and of the hunt for the Kalydonian boar.
The Kalydonian Boar was a gigantic boar sent by Artemis to ravage the countryside of Kalydon to punish King Oineus for neglecting her in the offerings of the first fruits to the gods. The king summoned heroes from throughout Greece to hunt the beast. The hunt which ensued was led by the king's son Meleager who struck the killing blow. However, the hero awarded the skin to Atalanta as a prize for drawing first blood.
