Γιος του Δρύαντος, ο οποίος τυφλώθηκε από τους θεούς ως τιμωρία για την ασεβή επιθετική συμπεριφορά, που επέδειξε στον Διόνυσο, όταν ο τελευταίος περνούσε από το βουνό Νύσα και αναγκάστηκε να καταφύγει στην Θέτιδα. Μετά από αυτό δεν έζησε για πολύ χρόνο (Ιλ. Ζ 130 κ.ε.).
Στον Λυκούργο αναφέρεται και ο Απολλόδωρος (Απλδ. 3,5,1).
Lycurgus, (Lukourgos). A king of Thrace, who, when Bacchus was passing through his country, assailed him so furiously that the god was obliged to take refuge with Thetis. Bacchus avenged himself by driving Lycurgus mad, and the latter thereupon killed his own son Dryas with a blow of an axe, taking him for a vine-branch. The land became, in consequence, sterile; and his subjects, having been informed by an oracle that it would not regain its fertility until the monarch was put to death, bound Lycurgus, and left him on Mount Pangaeus, where he was destroyed by wild horses.

Lycurgus (Lukourgos). A son of Dryas, and king of the Edones in Thrace. He is
famous for his persecution of Dionysus and his worship on the sacred mountain
of Nyseion in Thrace. The god himself leaped into the sea, where he was kindly
received by Thetis. Zeus thereupon blinded the impious king, who died soon after,
for he was hated by the immortal gods. (Hom. Il. vi. 130, &c.) The punishment
of Lycurgus was represented in a painting in a temple at Athens. (Paus. i. 20.
20.) The above Homeric story about Lycurgus has been much varied by later poets
and mythographers. Some say that Lycurgus expelled Dionysus from his kingdom,
and denied his divine power; but being intoxicated with wine, he first attempted
to do violence to his own mother, and to destroy all the vines of his country.
Dionysus then visited him with madness, in which he killed his wife and son, and
cut off one (some say both) of his legs; or, according to others, made away with
himself. (Hygin. Fab. 132, 242; Serv. ad Aen. iii. 14.) According to Apollodorus
(iii. 5.1), Dionysus, on his expeditions, came to the kingdom of Lycurgus, but
was expelled; where-upon he punished the king with madness, so that he killed
his son Dryas, in the belief that he was cutting down a vine. When this was done,
Lycurgus recovered his mind; but his country produced no fruit, and the oracle
declared that fertility should not be restored unless Lycurgus were killed. The
Edonians therefore tied him, and led him to mount Pangaeum, where he was torn
to pieces by horses. Diodorus (i. 20, iii. 65) gives a sort of rationalistic account
of the whole transaction. According to Sophocles (Antig. 955, &c.), Lycurgus was
entombed in a rock. (Comp. Ov. Trist. v. 3, 39.)
Ορος, όπου, κατά τον μύθο, ανατράφηκε ο Διόνυσος από τις Νύμφες (Ιλ. Ζ 133). Αρχικά ήταν φανταστικός τόπος, έπειτα όμως μνημονεύονται πολλά βουνά και πόλεις με αυτό το όνομα.
The legendary scene of the nurture of Dionysus (Bacchus), who was therefore called
Nysaeus, Nysius, Nyseius, Nyseus, Nysigena, etc. Hence the name was applied to
several places sacred to that god:
as (1) in India, at the northwest corner of the Punjab, near the confluence of
the rivers Cophen and Choaspes.
(2) Nyssa, a city of Caria, on the southern slope of Mount Messogis, famous for
its wine.
(3) A city of Cappadocia, near the Halys, the bishopric of St. Gregory of Nyssa.
(4) A town in Aethiopia near Meroe
(5) A village on the slopes of Helicon, in Boeotia.
