In
Greek mythology, Nonacris (
Ancient Greek: Νώνακρις Nônakris) was the wife of King
Lycaon of
Arcadia and mother of
Callisto,[1] from whom the town of
Nonacris was believed to have derived its name.[2] From this town
Hermes and
Evander are called Nonacriates and Nonacrius, in the general sense of Arcadian.[3] Otherwise, the spouse of Lycaon was called the
nymphCyllene.[4]
Stephanus of Byzantium, Stephani Byzantii Ethnicorum quae supersunt, edited by August Meineike (1790-1870), published 1849. A few entries from this important ancient handbook of place names have been translated by Brady Kiesling.
