Plouto (mother of Tantalus)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the mother of Tantalus. For the Oceanid nymph, see Plouto (Oceanid).

In Greek mythology, Plouto or Pluto (Ancient Greek: Πλουτώ means 'wealth')[1] was the mother of Tantalus, usually by Zeus, though the scholion to Euripides' play Orestes 5[clarification needed], names Tmolos as the father.[2] According to Hyginus, Plouto's father was Himas,[3] while other sources give her father as Cronus.[4]
