In Greek mythology, Maenalus (Ancient Greek: Μαίναλον or Μαίναλος Mainalos) 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. He was the founder of Maenalus which was the most famous of the cities of Arcadia in ancient times.[4]

Mythology
Mainalos 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. Maenalus was killed, along with his brothers and their father, by a lightning bolt of the god.[5]
