Phassus (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Phassus (Ancient Greek: Φάσσον) was an Arcadian prince as one of the 50 sons of the impious King Lycaon either by the naiad Cyllene,^[1] Nonacris^[2] or by unknown woman.

Mythology

Phassus and his siblings were the most nefarious and carefree of all people. To test them, Zeus visited them in the form of a peasant. These brothers mixed the entrails of a child into the god's meal, whereupon the enraged king of the gods threw the meal over the table. Phassus was killed, along with his brothers and their father, by a lightning bolt of the god.^[3]
