in mythology son of ares bound to fiery wheel
Ixion In Greek mythology, Ixion (/ɪkˈsaɪ.ən/ ik-SY-ən;[1] Greek: Ἰξίων, gen.: Ἰξίωνος) was king of the Lapiths, the most ancient tribe of Thessaly, and a son of Ares, or Leonteus, or Antion and Perimele, or the notorious evildoer Phlegyas, whose name connotes "fiery". Peirithoös[2] was his son (or stepson, if Zeus were his father, as the sky-god claims to Hera in Iliad 14).[3]
Elijah Elijah, in company with Elisha, approaches the Jordan. He rolls up his mantle and strikes the water.[32] The water immediately divides and Elijah and Elisha cross on dry land. Suddenly, a chariot of fire and horses of fire appear and Elijah is lifted up in a whirlwind. As Elijah is lifted up, his mantle falls to the ground and Elisha picks it up.
