Kokalos ( Greek  Κώκαλος ) is king of the Sicans in Sicily in Greek mythology .

After his escape from Crete, he kindly grants the Daidalos shelter on his island. As a thank you, Daedalus built the castle of Kamikos , which Kokalos chose to be his new capital, and other magnificent buildings. When the Cretan king Minos Daidalos pursues to Sicily, Kokalos uses a ruse: he takes Minos in a friendly manner, but then lets his daughters kill him in the bathroom.
