Thamyris

In Greek mythology, Thamyris (Ancient Greek: Θάμυρις, Thámuris) was a Thracian singer. He is notable in Greek mythology for reportedly being a lover of Hyacinth and thus to have been the first male to have loved another male,[1] but when his songs failed to win his love from the god Apollo, he challenged the Nine Muses to a competition and lost.[2]
