Bravo, p. 118; Smith and Trzaskoma, p. 189, note 15: "King Lycurgus: we hesitantly have restored Lycurgus for Lycus in the belief that it is an error of transmission and not a mistake on the part of Hyginus" (so also in Hyginus, Fabulae 74, and 273.6).
Bravo, p. 119. For Lycurgus as the priest of Zeus, see Thebaid5.638–641 ("Lycurgus ... at sacrifice ... offered portions to the unfriendly Thunderer"), and 5.643–644 ("temple and altars held him back"); for Lycurgus as king of Nemea, see 5.667 ("king"), 715–716 ("Lycurgus ... the king"), 719 ("king"), 733 ("ruler of Nemea").

Gantz, p. 512; Parada, s.vv. Lycurgus 3, Lycurgus 4 (treating the two as distinct). According to the scholia to Pindar's Nemean Odes, Adrastus' father Talaus had a son Pronax, and so too in Apollodorus, 1.9.13, which also mentions that Pronax had a son Lycurgus, which Apollodorus, 1.9.14 distinguishes from the Lycurgus who was the father of Opheltes.
