Calyce

Καλύκη

(Καλύκη), three mythical beings, the one a daughter of Aeolus and Enarete, and mother of Endymion (Apollod. 1.7. §§ 3, 5); the second a daughter of Hecaton and mother of Cygnus by Poseidon (Hyg. Fab. 157); and the third is mentioned by Apollodorus (3.1.5) among the daughters of Danaus; but the whole passage is probably corrupt.
