In Greek mythology it also testifies the existence of werewolves. Their God Zeus once disguised himself as a traveler and looked for hospitality to the court of vicious Arcadian King Lycaon. The King recognized the God and tried to kill him by serving him human flesh. God Zeus caught the terrible trick and did not eat. Outraged, Zeus condemned Lycaon to spend rest of his life as a wolf. Most probably this mythology originated the Greek word "Lycanthrope" . Lycanthropy comes from the Greek lykoi: "wolf" and anthropos: "man".
