Λυκούργος (EL)
Lycurgus (EN)

Γιος του θεού Άρη ή του Δρύαντα και πατέρας της Φυλλίδας. Θεωρείται ο βασιλιάς των Ηδωνών της Θράκης. Όταν ο θεός Διόνυσος ήθελε να περάσει από την περιοχή της Θράκης, ο Λυκούργος όχι μόνο του αρνήθηκε, αλλά αιχμαλώτισε τις Βάκχες και τους Σατύρους που ακολουθούσαν τον θεό. Αυτές όμως ελευθερώθηκαν, ενώ παράλληλα τον Λυκούργο έπιασε θεϊκή μανία και σκότωσε τον γιο του, επειδή νόμιζε ότι ήταν κλήμα. Κατά μια άλλη παράδοση, ο ίδιος ο Διόνυσος τύφλωσε τον βασιλιά, τον βασάνισε και τον σταύρωσε. Έπειτα από αυτό το περιστατικό, ο θεός έδωσε χρησμό να μείνει η γη της Θράκης άγονη. Οι Ηδωνοί, για να επαναφέρουν τη γονιμότητα της γης τους, τιμώρησαν τον Λυκούργο διαμελίζοντάς τον σε τέσσερα κομμάτια στο όρος Παγγαίο. Άλλες μυθογραφικές αναφορές τονίζουν ότι απλώς τον εγκατέλειψαν στο όρος. Σύμφωνα με άλλη παράδοση, ο Λυκούργος λόγω της μανίας που του έστειλε ο Διόνυσος θέλησε να βιάσει τη μητέρα του. Στο τέλος σκότωσε και τη μητέρα και τον γιο του. Σύμφωνα, μάλιστα, με άλλους μυθογράφους αναφέρεται ότι ο βασιλιάς παλεύοντας με τις Βάκχες επιτέθηκε σε μια νύμφη, την Αμβροσία, η οποία αρνούμενη την ερωτική του διάθεση, μεταμορφώθηκε σε κλήμα προκειμένου να πνίξει τον άντρα. (EL)
A mythical king of Thrace, and specifically of the Edoni, he was the son of Ares or of Dryas and the father of Phyllis. When Dionysus wanted to cross Thrace, Lycurgus not only refused him permission but seized the Bacchantes and the Satyrs in his train. But the Bacchantes were miraculously freed and Lycurgus in a fit of madness killed his son, mistaking him for a grapevine. In another version of the story, it was Dionysus himself who blinded the king, tortured him and crucified him. After this incident his oracle pronounced that the soil of Thrace would be barren. In order to restore the fertility of their land, the Edonians punished Lycurgus, tearing him into four pieces on Mount Pangaeon; in other versions he was merely abandoned on the mountainside. Another tradition says that, in the grip of a madness inflicted by Dionysus, Lycurgus tried to rape his own mother and in the end killed both her and his son. It is also related that while fighting with the Bacchantes the king attacked a nymph called Ambrosia, who turned herself into a grapevine to hide from and strangle him. (EN)
