Philonome (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Philonome or Phylonome (Ancient Greek: Φιλονόμη) was a name shared by two individuals:

Phylonome, daughter of Nyctimus (son of Lycaon) and Arcadia. She was a maiden who used to hunt with Artemis until Ares seduced her in the guise of a shepherd. Being pregnant and fearing her father, she cast her twin children, Lycastus and Parrhasius, into the river Erymanthus, but they found haven in the trunk of a tree. Later a wolf suckled the children and a shepherd, Gyliphus, reared them as if they were his own sons.Plutarch, Parallela minora [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Plut.+Para.+36&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A2008.01.0219:boo=0:chapter=0&highlight=Phylonomệ 36]
