In Greek mythology, Nonacris ( Ancient Greek: Νώνακρις Nônakris) was the wife of King Lycaon of Arcadia and mother of Callisto, [1] from whom the town of Nonacris was believed to have derived its name. [2] From this town Hermes and Evander are called Nonacriates and Nonacrius, in the general sense of Arcadian. [3] Otherwise, the spouse of Lycaon was called the nymph Cyllene. [4]
