The concept of the werewolf is independent of location. Many prehistoric people recognized the phenomena of psychosis and in similar ways tried to explain it away using the concept of 'the creature within'. Lycaon however is a legendary figure, the first king of Arcadia, who Zeus turned into a wolf because he served Zeus human flesh. It is from King Lycaon that the term Lycanthrope and related terms are derived so we would have to say that Lycans come from Arcadia, a small city state founded by the Mycenaean Greeks named after Arcas.

Some wish to distinguish Lycans from werewolves and there may be an argument made for Lycans being desended from Lycaon.
