InGreek mythology, Thyraeus (Ancient Greek: Θυραίου or Θυραῖόν means 'at the door') 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 reputed eponymous founder of the Arcadian city of Thyraeum. The Arcadians believed that both the ThyreainArgolis and also the Thyrean gulf were named after Thyraeus.[4]
