# Acontes (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Acontes (Ancient Greek: Ἀκόντην) was an Arcadian prince as one of the 50 sons of the impious King Lycaon either by the naiad Cyllene, Nonacris or by unknown woman.

## Mythology

Acontes 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. Acontes was killed, along with his brothers and their father, by a lightning bolt of the god.
