Buzyges, or 'he who puts oxen under the yoke' was the mythical inventor of the yoke who had the idea of taming and harnessing bulls, as well as using them for work and ploughing the fields.
He was also believed to have been one of the first legislators, and is said to have instituted the ban on killing oxen or bulls since they were so useful in cultivation, which was frequently mentioned in classical antiquity (see also Palladium).
