Ploutos
In the Greek Mythology, Ploutos (in Greek old Πλοῦτος / Ploũtos ) is the divinity of the richness and abundance. He is the son of Iasion (or Iasos) and of Déméter, which linked on a fallow three times plowed.
He asks Zeus the teaching of wisdom, but the god gives him the richness to be distributed and blindness strikes it (so that he as he is impartial and gives as well the “rich person” as with the “poor”, with the “goods” that with “malicious”).
It is represented under the features of a child carrying a Horn of plenty. Aristophane devoted a comedy to him, Ploutos .
