Calamus (the Latin name for Kalamos) is the son of the god Maiandros (who is god of the Maeander river) in Greek mythology. Kalamos was in love with another boy called Karpos. During a swimming competition between the two, Karpos drowned and subsequently, Kalamos was so distraught that he let himself drown too and was transformed into a water reed. For this reason, Kalamos is Greek for 'reed'.
