The Lion of Cithaeron[lower-alpha 1] was a lion in Greek mythology which harassed the lands of king Amphitryon and king Thespius or of king Megareus. Some myths say that it was killed by Heracles, while others say it was slain by Alcathous of Elis.
According to the Suda, it was also called the Thespian lion and the Ravine lion (Ancient Greek: Χαραδραῖος λέων, Charadraios leōn) because it lived in a place called "Ravine" (Ancient Greek: χαράδρα, charadra).[1]
