Tha'myris
(
*Qa/muris), 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. 2.595, &c.;
Apollod. 1.3.3;
Paus. 4.33.4. 10.7.2; Eurip.
Rhes. 925.) He was represented with a broken lyre in his hand. (
Paus. 9.30.2.)
