Phlegyas
Phlegyas ( Greek Φλεγύας ) is in Greek mythology the son of Ares and Chryse , father of Ixion and Koronis and ancestor of the Phlegyer , a raw tribe in Boeotia .
Phlegyas set fire to the temple of the god because Koronis of Apollo became mother of Asclepius , but was killed by his arrows and condemned in the underworld to the punishment of always seeing a rock threatening to fall above him.
In the Asklepios mythology of Isyllos from Epidauros , Phlegyas is the father of Aigle (= Koronis) and grandfather of Asklepios.
