Greek Mythology > People, Places, & Things > Ikarius
When the god of wine, Dionysus, was traveling in Attika (Attica), he was entertained by the a kindly man named Ikarius.
As a reward for his hospitality, Dionysus gave Ikarius the gift of wine which was unknown to mortal men; Ikarius shared the god’s gift with his neighbors and, when they became drunk, they murdered Ikarius; Erigone, Ikarius’ daughter, found her father’s body and in utter sadness, committed suicide by hanging herself from a tree.
