Lycurgus
Lykourgos

In Greek mythology, King of Thrace, he persecuted the god Dionysus, who had come to his country with his followers, and forced the god to seek refuge in the underwater world of Thetis. He is said to have been blinded by divine punishment, or to have gone mad and killed his own wife and children with an axe, believing them to be vines, and to have met a tragic end himself.
