Yes, you managed to remeber correctly. Prometheus was the one who gave fire to humans in case anybody was wondering. As far the mythology of Lycoan goes, a different variation (primarly drawn from the bibliotheca) says that Lycoan and his sons killed a native boy and cooked his bowels into the meal to see if Zeus was omnipresent and knew that they had put the entrails in his meal. Zeus obviously knew so he flipped the table over and killed them all with lightning bolts. The youngest son, Nyctimus was saved when Gaia held Zeus' right hand and stayed his wrath.

Lycoan had three daughters, but the one that should definitely be metioned here is Callisto, a nymph who has quite a complicated story that ends up being an explaination of the origin of Ursa Major and Uras Minor constellations.

Another greek by the name of Lycoan is also apparently a lesser known son of King Priam of Troy. Like many of his kin, he died in battle against the raging Achillies in the Battle of Troy (according to the Iliad).

Evidently they are bassing this card off of the werewolf version of the greek myth though :P
