Tiresias - Mythology. Greek The blind seer of Thebes, a figure who appears several times in Greek mythology. According to some legends, Athene struck Tiresias blind because he saw her bathing. Another legend says that it was Hera who struck Tiresias blind. Some scholars think that the figure of Tiresias as a wise man is a mythological embodiment of the person who is out of the ordinary (blind, lame, or otherwise afflicted), endowed with special gifts such as those of Tiresias and Hephaestus, the lame smith-god.
