How does Zeus punish Lycaon? Why is this a fitting punishment for Lycaon?

For Lycaon wanted to know whether the one who had asked for his hospitality was a god or not. For this deed he was punished by no slight punishment, for Jupiter, quickly overturning the table, burned the house with a thunderbolt, and turned Lycaon himself into a wolf.

In this passage, Ovid, a Roman poet (43 B.C.–17 A.D.) has Zeus, known in this Roman context as Jupiter, describe the punishment of an impious king named Lycaon for failing to recognize the god and worship him. This event was one of the factors that led Zeus to send a flood to destroy humans.
