 Tityus / Tityas
In Greek mythology the minor figure of Tityas (more commonly Tityus), a Titan-like figure of unbridled lust, was the son of Elara, who was a "daughter of Orchomenus" (Apollodorus) and one of Zeus' many conquests.
In Homer's Odyssey (vii.372) Odysseus' host, the deep-cultured king Alcinous, calls Tityus "son of Mother Earth:" his people, the ancient Phaeacians, had manned the galleys that took Rhadamanthys, legendary king of Crete, to visit Tityas in "Euboea, off at the edge of the world"— at least from Alcinous' perspective.
Tityas, being immortal, was confined to Tartarus, spread-eagled on the ground, where two vultures forever ate his liver, which Antiquity identified as the seat of the passions: a myth element more familiar in connection with the Earth-born Titan Prometheus.

Several lines of evidence in experimental animals indicate that the kinin system may participate in the pathogenesis of envenomation by the Tityus serrulatus (Ts) scorpion sting, but there are no studies in humans with regard to this system.
In this study, we evaluated the plasma levels of high-molecular (HKg) and low-molecular (LKg) weight kininogens (detected by ELISA), the activities of plasma or tissue kallikreins and kininase II (enzymatic action upon selective substrates), and the Ts plasma venom levels (ELISA).
