The very first known werewolf is in Greek mythology and his name is King Lycaon. He was a king of Arcadia, a land appearing in both ancient legend and modern times. He had many children with his wives including Nonacris and Cellene, beautiful nymphs. Among the countless children of King Lycaen and Queen Nonacris was their daughter Callisto, who later would become a sorceress. One of the sons of Lycaon was Nyctimus, who became the first victim of werewolf cruelty. He was killed by his own father and then cooked. King Lycaon wanted to test if the god Zeus was all knowing, and then the king served his roasted son to the god as an offering. Zeus was so angry and horrified that he turned king Lycaon into a wolf. Then Nyctimus was given back his life and body fully restored. In memory of King Lycaon was the city of Lycosura, now a ruin, and the Lycaean Games, held at Mount Lykaion, which itself has two peaks that resemble a wolf's ears, and it's also called "Wolf Mountain".
