Ixion, king of the Lapiths, the people of Thessaly, was a member, jointly with Sisyphus and Tantalus, of the bully gods of Greek mythology. Moved by the regret of having incinerated his father in law (Eion), Ixion went mad and toured the world as a beggar. He got purified to obtain his lost sanity. At a banquet of the gods he sexually harassed Hera and their encounters resulted in the birth of the Centaurs. Because he boasted about what had happened, Zeus struck him with a lightning and threw him in Hell.
Íxion, rei dos Lápitas, povo da Tessália, pertenceu conjuntamente com Sísifo e Tântalo ao grupo dos provocadores dos deuses da mitologia Grega. Arrependido de ter incinerado Eioneu, seu sogro, enlouqueceu e percorreu o mundo como mendigo. Purificou-se para obter a sanidade perdida. Num banquete dos deuses assediou sexualmente Hera e dos seus encontros nasceram os Centauros. Por se ter gabado do acontecido Zeus fulminou-o com um raio e precipitou-o nos Infernos.
