Lycaon (son Of Priam)
In Greek mythology, as recorded in Homer's ''Iliad'', Lycaon (; Ancient Greek: Λυκάων; ''gen''.: Λυκάονος) was a son of Priam and Laothoe, daughter of the Lelegian king Altes. Mythology Lycaon was the half-brother of Hector. Lycaon lent his cuirass to his brother Paris when he duelled against Menelaus, husband of Helen. On another occasion Apollo took the shape of Lycaon to address Aeneas. During the Trojan War, Lycaon was captured by Achilles while cutting branches in Priam's orchard. Achilles sold him as a slave to Euneus of Lemnos, but Eetion of Imbros bought him, took him back to Troy, and restored him to his father. Only twelve days later, he faced Achilles in battle, during Achilles' terrible wrath after the death of Patroclus. Lycaon grasped Achilles' knees and begged for mercy, either in exchange for a ransom or in memory of Patroclus' gentle nature; however, neither argument swayed Achilles, who slew him without pity.Homer, ''Iliad'' 21.35–155 N ...

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.

Eurypylus Of Cyrene
In Greek mythology, Eurypylus (; Ancient Greek: Εὐρύπυλος ''Eurypylos'') was a son of Poseidon and the Pleiad Celaeno, and together with his brother Lycus, they ruled over the Fortunate Islands.

Lycaon (genus)
''Lycaon'' is a genus of canid which includes the African wild dog (''Lycaon pictus'') and the extinct ''Lycaon sekowei''. Taxonomy This hypercarnivorous and highly cursorial genus is distinguished by accessory Cusp (anatomy), cusps on the premolars. It branched from Canis, the wolflike canids lineage during the Plio-Pleistocene. Since then, ''Lycaon'' has become lighter and tetradactyl, but has remained hypercarnivorous. ''Lycaon sekowei'' is known from the Pliocene and Pleistocene of South Africa and was less cursorial. Some researchers consider the extinct ''Canis'' subgenus ''Xenocyon'' as ancestral to both ''Lycaon'' and ''Cuon''. Other researchers propose that the extinct ''Xenocyon#Canis (Xenocyon) falconeri, Canis (Xenocyon) falconeri'' and ''Xenocyon#Canis (Xenocyon) lycaonoides, Canis (Xenocyon) lycaonoides'' should be classified under genus ''Lycaon'', to give the descent of 3 chronospecies: ''L. falconeri'' in the Late Pliocene of Eurasia → ''L. lycaonoides'' in ...

Canis Lupus Lycaon
The eastern wolf (''Canis lycaon'' or ''Canis lupus lycaon'' or ''Canis rufus lycaon'') also known as the timber wolf, Algonquin wolf or eastern timber wolf, is a canine of debated taxonomy native to the Great Lakes region and southeastern Canada. It is considered to be either a unique subspecies of gray wolf or red wolf or a separate species from both. Many studies have found the eastern wolf to be the product of ancient and recent genetic admixture between the gray wolf and the coyote, while other studies have found some or all populations of the eastern wolf, as well as coyotes, originally separated from a common ancestor with the wolf over 1 million years ago and that these populations of the eastern wolf may be the same species as or a closely related species to the red wolf (''Canis lupus rufus'' or ''Canis rufus'') of the Southeastern United States. Regardless of its status, it is regarded as unique and therefore worthy of conservation with Canada citing the populatio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
