Lyco and Orphe

Their brief story survives in the works of Maurus Servius Honoratus, a Latin grammarian of the early fifth century AD.Once Apollo, the god of prophecy, paid a visit to Dion and his family.He was so well-received that he gave all three of Dion's daughters the gift of prophecy, under the condition that they would never betray the gods or seek after forbidden things.But Lyco and Orphe guarded Carya, and tried to prevent Dionysus from wooing her.As the two sisters reached the top of Mount Taygetus in their raging madness, they were transformed into rocks.
