Ixion, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com |
 | | Ixion is one of the few who is still being punished in Hades, bound by Zeus to a wheel on which he is whirled through the air. |
 | | Ixion is to be counted among the LAPITHS, a people living in Thessaly, remembered for their battle against the CENTAURS, who were their kinsmen, but having made their hearts foolish with too much wine, attempted nevertheless to violate Pirithous' bride Hippodamia 4 at their wedding party. |
 | | Other authors, based in the testimony of scholiasts, have said that Ixion was son of Phlegyas 1, a king that is sometimes associated with Boeotia, known also for being the father of Coronis 2, the woman who preferred Ischys before Apollo, but who nevertheless bore a son Asclepius to the god. |
