There’s more than a whiff of misogyny in it.

The name turns up nothing in any Greek version I can think of.
Of course, it may have been called that only briefly, or only by non-Greeks.
If it’s important, there are some people I can ask, especially over the holidays, but even that is reasonably uncertain without a more specific location.

Okay, so before *a lot* of quarrying and road building took place… more or less due North of Lykavittos, about 2 miles away, is a stony hill now most easily found as Attiko Alsos, a park. Much closer, but due south, is the Torn Rock, definitely a rock…

Not by that name, I imagine.
Lycabettus is in central Athens now, of course, the city having expanded greatly. Do you know any more about its location, or can you tell me when it was called that?
