In the most popular version of this tale, the king killed and cooked his son, Nyctimus.

Some sources state that the king killed and ate a sacrificed boy, not deciphering if this is his son or not, rather than just a random boy.

But either way, Lycaon then serves the remains of this person to Zeus to see whether the god was truly all-knowing or not, if he would eat this plate of otherwise air quote meat, right?

See if he could recognize human flesh.

Now, of course, utterly disgusted, Zeus then turns to Lycaon and as a punishment, turns him into a wolf and his son is then restored to life.

In fact, there are illustrations of this through time.

And I do want to say, while you look at this illustration, Fredo, we'll put this on screen and on social media.

There are a lot of themes like this throughout this episode.

We'll put them in the description.

They're all very lightly touched on and mostly fictional.

But for the sake of those who want them, check out the description.

So you can kind of see him.

This is Zeus waving his hand.

Lycaon is kind of turning to run away and you see his head starting to turn into a wolf there.

You know, this makes me think, too.

Yeah.

In the background, there's like a building on fire.

It looks like.

Yeah.

I don't know the context of that part.
