Thamyris

ΟΔΡΥΣΑΙ (Αρχαία χώρα) ΒΑΛΚΑΝΙΑ
Thamyris (Thamuris), an ancient Thracian hard, was a son of Philammon and the nymph Argiope. He went so far in his conceit as to think that he could surpass the Muses in song ; in consequence of which he was deprived of his sight and of the power of singing (Hom. Il. ii. 595, &c.; Apollod. i. 3.3; Paus. iv. 33.4. x. 7. § 2; Eurip. Rhes. 925). He was represented with a broken lyre in his hand. (Paus. ix. 30.2)
