Plouto (mother of Tantalus)

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

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