Myros[N 1] was a maester of the Citadel who served as Grand Maester during the reign of King Maegor I Targaryen.
History
After returning to King's Landing following his victory at the Battle at the Great Fork, King Maegor I Targaryen declared his intent to take Tyanna of the Tower as his third wife. Myros dared to speak against the marriage openly, stating that Maegor's true wife, Ceryse Hightower, awaited at Oldtown. Maegor heard him out in silence before drawing Blackfyre and killing Myros where he stood.[1]
Myros was one of three Grand Maesters were executed during Maegor's reign,[2] the others being Gawen and Desmond.[3]

A Storm of Swords
When the archmaesters restore Grand Maester Pycelle on the grounds that only the Conclave can make or unmake a Grand Maester, Tyrion Lannister points out that Maegor's headsman unmade three Grand Maesters with his axe.[2] Tyrion is mistaken on some details as, according to Archmaester Gyldayn's Fire & Blood, Being a History of the Targaryen Kings of Westeros, Myros was killed not by a headsman's axe but by Maegor himself, who killed him on the spot with Blackfyre.[1]
