Plūtus

Plūtus (ploutos, ‘wealth’), in Greek myth, the personification of wealth, the son of Demeter and Iasion, whom Homer regarded as a mortal. He was originally connected with abundance of crops and became a figure of popular rather than literary mythology. He was worshipped with Demeter at Eleusis. There was a tradition that Zeus blinded him in order to make him indiscriminate in the distribution of riches. See the Greek comedy Plutus by Aristophanes, below.
