Well.....his son had rebelled and was a real threat.
Mithridites said "we should meet one to one".
The son's bodyguards said "Ok but no weapons".
Mithridites strapped a large dagger to his penis.
Upon being searched he said "Do you want to check my penis?"
The guards demurred.
Mithridites went to the meeting and stabbed his son.
His whole family spent a lot of time killing each other.
I expect that the social services were involved.

He was a great commander but suffered from a too large hubris/penis.
