Thamyris description
For the Ancient Greek woman artist see Timarete.In Greek mythology, Thamyris (Greek: , Thámuris), son of Philammon and the nymph Argiope, was a Thracian singer who was so proud of his skill that he boasted he could outsing the Muses. He competed against them and lost. As punishment for his presumption they blinded him, and took away his ability to make poetry and to play the lyre. This outline of the story is told in the Iliad.This allusion is taken up in Euripides' Rhesus, in the Library attributed to Apollodorus, and in the Scholia on the Iliad.

The story legendarily demonstrates that poetic inspiration, a gift of the gods, can be taken away by the gods.According to Diodorus the mythical sin
