Phrixus

Phrixus on a first-century Roman fresco from Pompeii, now in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples.

In Greek mythology Phrixus (/ˈfrɪksəs/; also spelt Phryxus; Ancient Greek: Φρίξος, romanized: Phríxos means "standing on end, bristling") was the son of Athamas, king of Boeotia, and Nephele (a goddess of clouds). He was the older brother of Helle and the father of Argus, Phrontis, Melas and Cytisorus by Chalciope (Iophassa), daughter of Aeetes, king of Colchis.
