	The Dispatch - Serving the Lexington, NC - News
		In Greek mythology, Thamyris, 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.
		These later sources add the details that Thamyris had claimed as his prize, if he should win the contest, the privilege of having sex with all the Muses (according to one version) or of marrying one of them (according to another); and that after his death he was further punished in Hades.
		Thamyris is said to have been a lover of Hyacinthus and thus to have been the first man to have loved another male.
