Sychaeus

or SICHAEUS, a wealthy Phoenician and husband of Dido, whose brother Pygmalion, anxious to secure his treasures, treacherously murdered him. (Verg. A. 1.347, &c., 4.20, 502, 532, 632, 6.474; Justin, 18.4, calls him Acerbas, and represents the matter somewhat differently from the account in Virgil.)
