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]
Prometheus Bound The theme of Prometheus Bound is the conflict between force and justice. The supreme god Zeus has recently assumed control of the universe from the Titans and is ruling like a petty tyrant. He has bound Prometheus to a rock in a remote corner of the earth because Prometheus gave the gift of fire to humankind, a race whom Zeus had sought to destroy.
