Viriothus was killed in his sleep by three of his companions (they were Tartessians, Lusitanian allies). The three men had escaped by the time the Iberians discovered the death of their leader. Unable to avenge him they instead held feasts and a grand funeral. These three men who had been sent as emissaries to the Massaliotes had been bribed by Patroclus into betraying their mission.
