About Orchomenus
In Greek mythology, the name Orchomenus may refer to:Orchomenus, an Arcadian prince as one of the 50 sons of the impious King Lycaon either by the naiad Cyllene, Nonacris or by an unknown woman. He was the founder and eponym of Orchomenus (Arcadia), as well as founder of Methydrium. One account called him the father of Arcas. Orchomenus 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. Orchomenus was killed, along with his brothers and their father, by a lightning bolt of the god.
