In Greek mythology, Nyctimus (Ancient Greek: Νύκτιμος Nyktimos) was an Arcadian prince and the youngest of the 50 sons of the impious King Lycaon either by the naiad Cyllene, Nonacris, or by an unknown woman.
==Family== Nyctimus was the father of Periphetes, the ancestor of Psophis, one of the possible eponyms for the city of Psophis. This can be explained by the following genealogical link; Nyctimus, Periphetes, Parthaon, Aristas, Erymanthus, Arrhon and Psophis.
