In Greek mythology, Phigalus ( Ancient Greek: Φίγαλος) was an Arcadian prince as one of the 50 sons of the impious King Lycaon [1] either by the naiad Cyllene, [2] Nonacris [3] or by unknown woman. Otherwise, he was called an autochthon [4].
Phigalus was the reputed eponymous founder of the Arcadian town of Phigalia. [1] In other account, the name of the town was derived from the dryad Phigalia. [4] During the reign of Phialus, son of Bucolion, the town was renamed as Phialia but eventually reverted to Phigalia later. [5]
