Coretho
Arcadian prince in Greek mythology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, Coretho (Ancient Greek: Κορέθοντα) 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. Possibly he is the same person as the Italian king named Corythus, who is called the father of Dardanus through his wife Electra.
Mythology
Coretho 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. Coretho was killed, along with his brothers and their father, by a lightning bolt of the god.[3]
