Socleus
In
or by unknown woman.Mythology
Socleus and his siblings were the most nefarious and carefree of all people. To test them, Zeus visited them in the form of a peasant. These brothers mixed the entrails of a child into the god's meal, whereupon the enraged king of the gods threw the meal over the table. Socleus was killed, along with his brothers and their father, by a lightning bolt of the god.[3]
