summarise this: ^ In the founding myth of Lycaon's banquet for the gods that included the flesh of a human sacrifice, perhaps one of his sons, Nyctimus or Arcas. Zeus overturned the table and struck the house of Lyceus with a thunderbolt; his patronage at the Lykaia can have been little more than a formula.

The story of Lycaon's banquet involves serving the gods a human sacrifice, likely one of his own sons. Zeus was angered and destroyed Lycaon's house with a thunderbolt. Zeus' patronage at the Lykaia festival was probably just ceremonial.
