The figure who attempted to kill Dionysus is Pentheus, the king of Thebes. He sought to suppress Dionysus's cult and the chaos associated with his worship, leading to a confrontation between them. In a tragic turn of events, Pentheus was ultimately torn apart by his own mother, Agave, and the other Maenads, who were driven mad by Dionysus's influence. This story highlights the themes of divine retribution and the dangers of denying or disrespecting the power of the gods.
