Likaon in Kalisto
1. Let us now return to Pelasgus, whom Acusilaus calls the son of Zeus and Niobe, as we have already stated, while Hesiod says he sprang from the earth. Pelasgus and Meliboea, the daughter of Oceanus—or, as others say, the nymph Cyllene—had a son, Lycaon. As king of the Arcadians, he fathered fifty sons by many wives: Melaeneus, Thesprotus, Helix, Nyctimus, Peucetius, Caucon, Mecisteus, Hopleus, Macareus, Macednus, Horus, Polichus, Acontes, Euaemon, Ancyor, Archebates, Carteron, Aegaeon, Pallas, Eumon, Canethus, Prothous, Linus, Corethon, Maenalus, Teleboas, Physius, Phassus, Phthius, Lycius, Halipherus, Genetor, Bucolion, Socleus, Phineus, Eumetes, Harpaleus, Portheus, Platon, Haemon, Cynaethus, Leon, Harpalycus, Heraeeus, Titanas, Mantineus, Cleitor, Stymphalus, and Orchomenus. These men surpassed all others in arrogance and impiety. Wishing to put their impiety to the test, Zeus came to them disguised as a poor laborer. They invited him to share their hospitality, then slaughtered a local boy and mixed his entrails with the sacrificial meat, which they served to Zeus at the suggestion of their eldest brother, Maenalus. Filled with disgust, Zeus overturned the table at the place now called Trapezus, and struck Lycaon and his sons with thunderbolts, sparing only the youngest, Nyctimus; for Earth intervened, grasping Zeus by the right hand and calming his anger.
2. When Nyctimus inherited the kingdom, the flood of Deucalion’s time occurred. Some say it was brought about by the impiety of Lycaon’s sons. Eumelus and certain other writers say that Lycaon also had a daughter, Callisto; Hesiod, however, says she was one of the nymphs, Asius that she was a daughter of Nycteus, and Pherecydes that she was a daughter of Ceteus. She hunted with Artemis, wore the same dress as the goddess, and swore to her that she would remain a virgin. But Zeus fell in love with her and lay with her against her will, taking the form, according to some, of Artemis, or, according to others, of Apollo.
Wishing to conceal her from Hera, he transformed her into a bear. But Hera persuaded Artemis to shoot her down as a wild beast. Some, however, say that Artemis shot her because she had failed to preserve her virginity. When Callisto died, Zeus snatched up her baby and gave him to Maia in Arcadia to rear, naming him Arcas. Callisto he placed among the stars and called the Bear.

Μαντινέα Κλείτορα Στύμφαλον Ὀρχομενόν οὗτοι πάντας ἀνθρώπους ὑπερέβαλλον ὑπερηφανίᾳ καὶ ἀσεβείᾳ. Ζεὺς δὲ αὐτῶν βουλόμενος τὴν ἀσέβειαν πειρᾶσαι εἰκασθεὶς ἀνδρὶ χερνήτῃ παραγίνεται. οἱ δὲ αὐτὸν ἐπὶ ξένια καλέσαντες, σφάξαντες ἕνα τῶν ἐπιχωρίων παῖδα, τοῖς ἱεροῖς τὰ τούτου σπλάγχνα συναναμίξαντες παρέθεσαν, συμβουλεύσαντος τοῦ πρεσβυτέρου ἀδελφοῦ Μαινάλου. Ζεὺς δὲ μυσαχθεὶς τὴν μὲν τράπεζαν ἀνέτρεψεν, ἔνθα νῦν Τραπεζοῦς καλεῖται ὁ τόπος, Λυκάονα δὲ καὶ τοὺς τούτου παῖδας ἐκεραύνωσε, χωρὶς τοῦ νεωτάτου Νυκτίμου· φθάσασα γὰρ ἡ Γῆ καὶ τῆς δεξιᾶς τοῦ Διὸς ἐφαψαμένη τὴν ὀργὴν κατέπαυσε.
2. Νυκτίμου δὲ. τὴν βασιλείαν παραλαβόντος ὁ ἐπὶ Δευκαλίωνος κατακλυσμὸς ἐγένετο. τοῦτον ἔνιοι διὰ τὴν τῶν Λυκάονος παίδων δυσσέβειαν εἶπον γεγενῆσθαι. Εὔμηλος δὲ καί τινες ἕτεροι λέγουσι Λυκάονι καὶ θυγατέρα Καλλιστὼ γενέσθαι· Ἡσίοδος μὲν γὰρ αὐτὴν μίαν εἶναι τῶν νυμφῶν λέγει, Ἄσιος δὲ Νυκτέως, Φερεκύδης δὲ Κητέως. αὕτη σύνθηρος Ἀρτέμιδος οὖσα, τὴν αὐτὴν ἐκείνῃ στολὴν φοροῦσα, ὤμοσεν αὐτῇ μεῖναι παρθένος. Ζεὺς δὲ ἐρασθεὶς ἀκούσῃ συνευνάζεται, εἰκασθείς, ὡς μὲν ἔνιοι λέγουσιν, Ἀρτέμιδι, ὡς δὲ ἔνιοι, Ἀπόλλωνι.
βουλόμενος δὲ Ἥραν λαθεῖν εἰς ἄρκτον μετεμόρφωσεν αὐτήν. Ἥρα δὲ ἔπεισεν Ἄρτεμιν ὡς ἄγριον θηρίον κατατοξεῦσαι. εἰσὶ δὲ οἱ λέγοντες ὡς Ἄρτεμις αὐτὴν κατετόξευσεν ὅτι τὴν παρθενίαν οὐκ ἐφύλαξεν. ἀπολομένης δὲ Καλλιστοῦς Ζεὺς τὸ βρέφος ἁρπάσας ἐν Ἀρκαδίᾳ δίδωσιν ἀνατρέφειν Μαίᾳ, προσαγορεύσας Ἀρκάδα· τὴν δὲ Καλλιστὼ καταστερίσας ἐκάλεσεν ἄρκτον.
