Mythic Fiction
Mythic fiction is literature that is rooted in, inspired by, or that in some way draws from the tropes, themes, and symbolism of myth, legend, folklore, and fairy tales. The term is widely credited to Charles de Lint and Terri Windling. Mythic fiction overlaps with urban fantasy and the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but mythic fiction also includes contemporary works in non-urban settings. Mythic fiction refers to works of contemporary literature that often cross the divide between literary and fantasy fiction. Windling promoted mythic fiction as the co-editor (with Ellen Datlow) of ''The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror'' annual volumes for sixteen years, and as the editor of the Endicott Studio ''Journal of Mythic Arts''. Though mythic fiction can be loosely based in mythology, it frequently uses familiar mythological personages archetypes (such as tricksters, or the thunderer). This is in contrast to mythopoeia, such as the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, which invent th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lycaon (king Of Arcadia)
In Greek mythology, Lycaon (/laɪˈkeɪɒn/; grc-att, Λυκᾱ́ων, ) was a king of Arcadia who, in the most popular version of the myth, tested Zeus' omniscience by serving him the roasted flesh of Lycaon's own son Nyctimus, in order to see whether Zeus was truly all-knowing. In return for these gruesome deeds, Zeus transformed Lycaon into a wolf and killed his offspring; Nyctimus was restored to life. Despite being notorious for his horrific deeds, Lycaon was also remembered as a culture hero: he was believed to have founded the city Lycosura, to have established a cult of Zeus Lycaeus and to have started the tradition of the Lycaean Games, which Pausanias thinks were older than the Panathenaic Games. According to Gaius Julius Hyginus (d. AD 17), Lycaon dedicated the first temple to Hermes of Cyllene.Hyginus, ''Fabulae'' 225 Family Lycaon was the son of Pelasgus and either the Oceanid Meliboea or Deianira, daughter of another Lycaon.
