In Greek mythology, Candybus (Ancient Greek: Κάνδυβος) was a Phthian prince. Candybus was the son of the King Deucalion[1] and probably Pyrrha, daughter of the Titan Epimetheus and Pandora. He was the possible brother of Hellen,[2] Amphictyon,[3] Pandora II,[4][5] Protogeneia,[6] Thyia[7] and Melantho.[8]
Stephanus of Byzantium reports a mythic tradition that the town of Kandyba in Lycia was named after Candybus.[1]
