Icarius (or Ikarios) welcomed Dionysos to Attica and was rewarded with the grapevine and the art of winemaking. He shared the wine with his neighbors who were terrified by its effects and believed that he had poisoned them, and so they killed him—he becomes a martyr for Dionysos. (His daughter finds the body and hangs herself; she is honored in a rite called Aiora, “swing” or “noose.”)
