In Greek mythology, the name Lycastus (Λύκαστος) may refer to: *Lycastus, son of Minos I and Itone, husband of Ide, daughter of Corybas, and by her father of Minos II.〔Diodorus Siculus, ''Library of History'', (4. 60. 3 )〕 *Lycastus, twin brother of Parrhasius, whose parents were Ares and Phylonome, daughter of Nyctimus and Arcadia. Their mother was seduced by Ares in the guise of a shepherd; in fear of her father's wrath, she cast the newborn twins into the river Erymanthus. They did not drown and were washed into the hollow of an oak tree, where a she-wolf found and suckled them, giving up her own cubs. The twins were then adopted and raised by a shepherd named Glyphius, and eventually succeeded to the throne of Arcadia. Their story is closely parallel, and is cited as such by Pseudo-Plutarch, to that of Romulus and Remus.〔Pseudo-Plutarch, ''Greek and Roman Parallel Stories'', (36 )〕 *Lycastus, lover of Eulimene, who unsuccessfully attempted to save his loved one from being sacrificed.〔Parthenius, ''Love Romances'', (35 )〕 *Lycastus, an autochthon, eponym of the town Lycastus in Crete, which might as well have been named after the son of Minos.〔Stephanus of Byzantium, s. v.
