Athenaeus of Naucratis, The Deipnosophists or Banquet of the Learned. ![]() ^ The ritual lament in Greek tradition By Margaret Alexiou, Dimitrios Yatromanolakis, Panagiotis Roilos ISBN 0-7425-0757-2.^ Athenaeus, Deipnosophistae 10.415b, quoting Sositheus.In The Tower of Nero, Lit is mentioned to have settled in well and to be running an elephant visitation program at the Waystation.However, after Apollo saves him from execution by the hands of Commodus, he helps Apollo throughout the book and chooses to live at the Waystation. In The Dark Prophecy, Lityerses is shown to be working under Commodus who is a part of the evil god emperors, Triumvirate Holdings, having been freed by Commodus.Jason throws a rug on the statue to keep him from being freed. However they escape and Lityerses is turned to gold due to a mistake of his father, King Midas. In The Lost Hero, a resurrected Lityerses meets Jason Grace, Piper McLean and Leo Valdez and tries to kill them.In this song, there is no mention of the legend it is merely an ordinary reaping-song. Theocritus in his tenth Idyll gives a specimen of a Greek harvest-song addressed to Demeter, called 'the Song of the Divine Lityerses'. The Phrygians' song for Lityerses was, according to one tradition, a comic version of the Mariandyni's lament sung for Bormus. The Phrygian reapers used to celebrate his memory in a harvest-song which bore the name of Lityerses. ![]() He was also known as the "Reaper of Men." One source describes him as a glutton who could eat "three asses' panniers" of food and drink "a ten- amphora cask" of wine at a time. Heracles won the contest and killed him, then threw his body into the river Maeander. He challenged people to harvesting contests and beheaded those he beat, putting the rest of their bodies in the sheaves. Lityerses was a talented swordsman, and was bloodthirsty and aggressive. In Greek mythology, Lityerses ( Ancient Greek: Λιτυέρσης) was an illegitimate son of Midas (or of Comis) dwelling in Celaenae, Phrygia.
