Phigalus

In Greek mythology, Phigalus (Ancient Greek: Φίγαλος) was an Arcadian prince as one of the 50 sons of the impious King Lycaon^[1] either by the naiad Cyllene,^[2] Nonacris^[3] or by unknown woman. Otherwise, he was called an autochthon.^[4]

Mythology

Phigalus was the reputed eponymous founder of the Arcadian town of Phigalia.^[1] In other account, the name of the town was derived from the dryad Phigalia.^[4] During the reign of Phialus, son of Bucolion, the town was renamed as Phialia but eventually reverted to Phigalia later.^[5]
