    According to the legend, it owes its name to the son of Etolos and Pronoi, while it is also mentioned by Homer as one of the five Etolian cities that participated in the siege of Troy

   Calydon was built on two hills and was surrounded by a wall of 4km perimeter that had towers and two main gates.
