Thamyris

In Greek mythology, Thamyris, son of Philammon, was a Thracian bard who was so vain and proud, he challenged the Muses to a contest. They struck him with blindness, and after his death he was further punished in Hades for his hubris. Thamyris was also said to have been a lover of Hyacinthus, and furthermore to have been the first man to have loved another man.

Thamyris was also the name of a Theban who was killed by Actor.
