Glyphius

Glyphius (Greek Γλύφιος Glýphios) is a figure of Greek mythology.

When Tiresias, the priest, was transformed into a woman, Glyphius attacked him while he was bathing. However, Tiresias was stronger and killed the attacker. The moiras then restored the priest to his original form, but as punishment for the offense took away his seer gift.
