Son of Dardanian Priam whom Achilles once took captive cutting wild fig-shoots in his father's orchard by night, and whom the son of Peleus slew at the river when he fled the battle — distinct from the Arcadian king (`lycaon`) and from Lycaon father of Pandarus.1
There met Achilles a son of Dardanian Priam fleeing forth from the river, even Lycaon, whom on a time he had himself taken sore against his will from his father's orchard, cutting with the sharp bronze the young shoots of a wild fig-tree to be the rims of a chariot. Now Lycaon stooped and ran under the spear, and clasped his knees, beseeching that he be sold into captivity; but Achilles thrust him with his sword through the liver, and lifted him by foot and cast him into the river, vowing that not even the fair-flowing Scamander should avail the Trojans.2
