When Vousiris (son of Poseidon and Lysianassi) reigned in Egypt, a calamity occurred in the country which destroyed the crops. Then was found in Egypt the Cypriot diviner Phrasios, who formed the opinion that the fruitlessness would stop if a foreigner was sacrificed to Zeus each year. Vousiris, after hearing the divine opinion, sacrificed first the diviner Phrasios himself - since he was a foreigner in Egypt. He continued to sacrifice one foreigner each year until he tried to also sacrifice Hercules, when the hero was there. But Hercules broke his chains and killed Vousiris.
