'''Lykaon''' was a [[Greece\|Greek]] [[Doctor\|healer]] who lived and worked in the [[Chora of Delphi]] in [[Phokis]], Greece during the 5th century BCE. He was the brother of [[Agave]], and they were the grandchildren of [[Praxithea]], a former [[Pythia]] of [[Sanctuary of Delphi\|Delphi]].

	~~He was haunted just like his grandmother, [[Praxithea]]~~, and ~~sister, [[~~Agave~~]], over~~ the ~~false~~ prophecies ~~the former~~ had ~~given during her time as [[Pythia]] under the control of the~~ [[Cult of Kosmos]].
