Mecisteus, an Arcadian prince as one of the 50 sons of the impious King Lycaon either by the naiadCyllene,[1]Nonacris[2] or by unknown woman. He and his brothers 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 Zeus threw the meal over the table. Mecisteus was killed, along with his brothers and their father, by a lightning bolt of the god.[3]
Mecisteus, an Achaean warrior who participated in the Trojan War. He was the son of Echius,[5] another Greek soldier during the siege of Troy. Together with the PylianAlastor, Mecisteus carried the wounded Teucer off the battle-field,[6] as they later did with Hypsenor.[7] Ultimately, Mecisteus was killed by the Trojan Polydamas.[8]
