Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Lycastus or Lykastos (Greek: Λύκαστος) was a town of ancient Crete, mentioned in the Catalogue of Ships in Homer's Iliad. Strabo says that it had entirely disappeared, having been conquered and destroyed by the Knossians. According to Polybius the Lycastian district was afterwards wrested from Knossos by the Gortynians, who gave it to the neighbouring town of Rhaucus.

Summary from Suomi / Finnish Wikipedia (fiwiki)

Lykastos (m.kreik. Λύκαστος, lat. Lycastus) oli antiikin aikainen kaupunki Kreetan saarella Kreikassa. Se sijaitsi nykyisen Iraklionin kunnan alueella lähellä nykyistä Profítis Ilíaksen kylää.

Summary from Deutsch / German Wikipedia (dewiki)

Lykastos (altgriechisch Λύκαστος) war eine antike Stadt auf der griechischen Insel Kreta. Sie lag etwa 11 Kilometer südwestlich von Knossos beim heutigen Ort Profitis Ilias (Προφήτης Ηλίας), bis 1955 Kanli Kasteli (Κανλί Καστέλι). Unter Nikephoros Phokas wurde später an der Stelle der Stadt die byzantinische Festung Temenos (Τέμενος), venezianisch Rocca, errichtet. Das antike Lykastos war zeitweise unabhängig, stand jedoch meist unter dem Einfluss von Knossos oder gehörte zu dessen Territorium.
