PLUTUS

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 861 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PIG-POL
PLUTUS , in
Greek
 
mythology
 , son of Iasion and
Demeter
 , the personification of wealth (irXovros). According to Aristophanes, he was blinded by
Zeus
  because he distributed his gifts without regard to merit. At
Thebes
  there was a statue of For-tune holding the
child
  Plutus in her arms; at Athens he was similarly represented in the arms of Peace; at Thespiae he was represented
standing
  beside
Athena
  the Worker. Elsewhere he was represented as a boy with a cornu copiae. He is the subject of one of the extant comedies of Aristophanes, the Plutus.
