Lyncus


In Greek mythology, King Lyncus ([ˈ] Greek: , pronounced [ˈlyŋkos]) of the Scythians was taught the arts of agriculture by Triptolemus but he refused to teach it to his people and then tried to kill Triptolemus. Demeter turned him into a lynx as punishment.

The myth is not known from any extant Greek sources, but it is found in Ovid's Met. 5.648-661 (hence Hyginus, Fab. 259, Servius, Comm. Aen. 1.323):
