In Greek mythology, Nonacris (Ancient Greek: Νώνακρις Nônakris) was the wife of King Lycaon of Arcadia and mother of Callisto, from whom the town of Nonacris was believed to have derived its name. From this town Hermes and Evander are called Nonacriates and Nonacrius, in the general sense of Arcadian. Otherwise, the spouse of Lycaon was called the nymph Cyllene.

Evander of Pallantium in the context of Evander (mythology)
In Greek and Roman mythology, Evander (Ancient Greek: Εὔανδρος Euandros means "abounding in good men and true") may refer to three distinct characters:
- Evander, a Lycian king who succeeded his father Sarpedon, son of Zeus and Europa, in the kingship of Lycia. He married Deidamia, daughter of Bellerophon, and had by her a son Sarpedon.
- Evander, a Trojan prince as the bastard son of King Priam of Troy by an unknown concubine.
- Evander of Pallantium, the wisest among the Arcadians, emigrated to Italy where he founded a city Pallantium. He was the son of Hermes and Carmentis, a nymph skilled in the art of divination.
