Page "Butes" Paragraph 2
from
Wikipedia
* Butes, a Thracian, Boreas ' son, who was hostile towards his stepbrother Lycurgus and was driven out of the country by him.
He settled in the island of Strongyle ( Naxos ) with a bunch of men, and proceeded to attack those who sailed past the island.
As there were no women on Strongyle to begin with, they would sail here and there to seize some from the land, but were not quite successful.
When they landed in Thessaly for that purpose, Butes offended Dionysus by raping Coronis, a Maenad, and was made insane upon her imploration, in which state he threw himself down a well and died.
His companions did abduct some women, including Iphimedeia and her daughter Pancratis.
