In Greek mythology, Peucetius (Ancient Greek: Πευκέτιος, romanized: Peukétios) 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.
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.
Peucetius was killed, along with his brothers and their father, by a lightning bolt of the god.
