Greek Mythology > People, Places, & Things > Nephele
A woman formed from a cloud by Zeus as a counterfeit Hera in order to deceive the lustful father of the Centaurs, Ixion.
Nephele was the wife of king Athamas of Orkhomenos (Orchomenus) and the mother of Helle and Phrixus; when Athamas’ second wife, Ino, tried to have Helle and Phrixus killed, Nephele helped them escape on the magical flying ram with the Golden Fleece; her name literally means Cloud.
