Koalemos

In Greek mythology, Koalemos is the god of stupidity, mentioned once by Aristophanes. The word κοάλεμος was otherwise used in the sense "stupid person".
An ancient false etymology derives κοάλεμος from κοέω (koeō) "perceive" and ἡλεός (ēleos) "distraught, crazed". Its actual etymology is not established.
