Nonacris (mythology)

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 nymph Cyllene.[4]
