Tmolus (father of Tantalus)
In Greek mythology, Tmolus (/ˈmoʊləs/; (Ancient Greek: Τμῶλος, Tmōlos) is a mythical Greek king of Lydia and father of Tantalus by Plouto,[1][2] daughter of Cronus or Himantes. He is most likely the same Tmolus, the son of Ares and Theogone, who is referenced to a scholion by Euripides.[1][2] However in most versions, the father of Tantalus was Zeus himself.
