In Greek mythology, Meleager (/ˌmɛliˈeɪɡər/,[1] Ancient Greek: Μελέαγρος, romanized: Meléagros) was a hero venerated in his temenos at Calydon in Aetolia. He was already famed as the host of the Calydonian boar hunt in the epic tradition that was reworked by Homer.[2] Meleager is also mentioned as one of the Argonauts.[3]
