As the story went, Ancaeus was planting a vineyard when a seer predicted he would not live long enough to drink the wine.
Much later, as he was about to taste the first wine from his now prosperous vineyard, Ancaeus mocked the prophecy and raised the cup of wine to his lips.
Ancaeus immediately set out to kill the animal, but in the fray was himself set upon and killed by the boar, thus fulfilling the prophecy.

Ancaeus went clad in the skin of a Maenalian bear, and wielding in his right hand a huge two-edged battleaxe.
The latter with his club smote one steer mid-head on the brow, and falling in a heap on the spot, it sank to the ground; and Ancaeus struck the broad neck of the other with his axe of bronze, and shore through the mighty sinews; and it fell prone on both its horns.
Then Ancaeus, the dauntless son of Lycurgus, quickly seized his huge axe, and in his left hand holding a bear's dark hide, plunged into the midst of the Bebrycians with furious onset; and with him charged the sons of Aeacus, and with them started warlike Jason.

For when with due honours they had buried him also hard by the seer, they cast themselves down in helplessness on the sea-shore silently, closely wrapped up, and took no thought for meat or drink; and their spirit drooped in grief, for all hope of return was gone.
And in their sorrow they would have stayed from going further had not Hera kindled exceeding courage in Ancaeus, whom near the waters of Imbrasus Astypalaea bore to Poseidon; for especially was he skilled in steering and eagerly did he address Peleus:

 The Boar Symbol
The men, shamed by this, let fly with their weapons without plan, the spears hit each other, and are ineffective.
Then Ancaeus, boasting that his double axe is better than a woman's weapon, rushes for the boar, and standing poised, prepares to let the blade down on the beast.
The boar, aiming his tusks at the upper part of Ancaeus' loins, gores him, and his organs slip and trail from his body in a mass of blood that stains the earth.
