Lyrcus (Ancient Greek: Λύρκος) is the name of two Greek mythological figures, one a figure in a 1st-century BC Hellenistic romance by Parthenius of Nicaea, the other the eponymous legendary founder of Lyrceia.[1] Stories of both located Lyrcus near Argos; their individual lives intertwine with other historical and mythological figures.
