Lityerses Greek Son of King Midas of Phrygia. Lityerses prided himself on his skill in the harvest. He challenged all to compete with him and was brutal to those who lost in the contest. In some legends, the hero Heracles defeated Lityerses, cut off his head with a sickle, and threw his body into the Meander River.
