LycaonIn Greek mythology, Lycaon was a king of Arcadia that was turned into a wolf by Zeus as a punishment for serving human flesh to the gods to test their omnipotence.In addition to this curse, Zeus also killed all 50 of Lycaon’s sons.Though this is a far cry from most werewolf legends, this is often cited as one of the earliest werewolf myths.Notes:Image - Engraving by Hendrik Goltzius -- source link
