In Greek mythology, Celadon (/ˈsɛlədɒn/; Ancient Greek: Κέλαδον) may refer to three distinct characters:
- Celadon, one of the Ethiopian chiefs who was a Mendesian present in the court of Cepheus at the moment of the fight between Phineus and Perseus. As an adversary of Perseus, he was killed by the latter.[1]
- Celadon, one of the Lapiths who attended the wedding of their King Pirithous and Hippodamia.[2] During the fight caused by the centaurs' attempt to rape the bride, he was killed by the centaur Amycus with a chandelier from a shrine according to a scholiast on Dionysius Periegetes.[3]
- Celadon, son of Miletus and Doie, and the sibling of Kaunos and Byblis.[4]
