Greek Mythology > People, Places, & Things > Ixion
A king of Thessaly who was the object of divine forgiveness and punishment.
Ixion arranged to have his father-in-law fall into a pit of burning coals rather than give over the dowry for his wife, Dia; Zeus forgave Ixion for this outrageous act but the ungrateful Ixion tried to seduce Hera; Zeus formed a counterfeit Hera from a cloud and named her Nephele; Ixion and Nephele gave life to the race of Centaurs; Zeus then condemned Ixion to spend eternity on a revolving wheel in the Underworld.
