Ixion tried to win the love of Hera {see planet  (103)}, but Zeus {see planet  (5731)} thwarted this by creating the cloud Nephele {see planet  (431)}, which resembled Hera and by whom Ixion fathered the Centaurs. For his crimes Ixion was bound to a wheel that turns forever in the underworld. (M 45236) _ _.
