Lycurgus (king of Nemea)

In Greek mythology, Lycurgus (/laɪˈkɜːrɡəs/; Ancient Greek: Λυκοῦργος Lykoûrgos, Ancient Greek: /lykôrɡos/), also Lykurgos or Lykourgos, was a king of Nemea, son of Pheres and Periclymene (or Clymene) and thus, brother of Admetus, Eidomene, Periopis and Antigona.[1] He was the husband of Eurydice of Nemea (or Amphithea) and father of Opheltes.[2]

When the army of the Seven Against Thebes reached Nemea on its way to Thebes, his little son Opheltes was devoured by a serpent, through the negligence of Hypsipyle. Lycurgus' tomb was in the grove of the Nemean Zeus.[3] He was also called Lycus in some accounts.[4]
