Siris
In Greek mythology, Siris was killed by Theseus.
He tied people to two pine trees which he bent down to the ground, then let the trees go, tearing his victims apart. Theseus killed him the same way and married his daughter, Perigune, with whom he fathered Melanippus.
Alternative: Sinis
Ovid VII, 440
