Lycurgus

It was on his return that he was expelled from Thrace by Lycurgus.

Lycurgus, of Thrace, went to the root of the matter by ordering the vines to be cut down.

For the farmer reached out a ham-like hand and seized the wiry Lycurgus by the shoulder, and shook him.

Lycurgus was blinded by Zeus and soon died, or became frantic and hewed down his own son, mistaking him for a vine.
