Hypsipyle was discovered and rescued by her sons Eumenius and Thoas, (whose father was the “bland Jason,” as Statius calls him,) just as King Lycurgus in his great grief was about to put her to death for neglecting the care of his child, who through her neglect had been stung by a serpent.

Statius, Thebaid , V 949, says it was Tydeus who saved Hysipyle:⁠—

“But interposing Tydeus rushed between,

And with his shield protects the Lemnian queen.”
