[Greek heroic] The son of Aeolus en Enarete, king of Elis. In his vanity he thought he could equal Zeus by driving around in a bronze chariot, making much noise, and imitating Zeus' thunder and lightning. He had also people made offering to him. To pay for this insult, Zeus struck him down with a lightning bolt.
