This article prior to my recent edit, did not distinguish between a Note and a Citation. I have split the notes into group="notes" and the references are now displayed in the ref section. i added citation needed to anything that previously had only a note but was not verifiably. explanation is not citation.

Some sources also describe Ixion as the direct father of centaurs ("Nessus, one of the Centaurs, whom Ixion begat upon a Cloud, formed into the likeness of Juno" - Edward Phillips, The new World of Words, or A Generall English Dictionary, 3. ed., 1671), while others name the cloud maiden Nephale, say Jupiter had an affair with Ixion's wife first (Alexander Ross, Mystagogus poeticus, or the Muses Interpreter, Mystagogus poeticus, or the Muses Interpreter, 5th ed., 1672, pp. 225-8), sometimes naming the lady Nicia and even counting some of their children ("Pnocus, a son of Ixion and of Nicia, who resembled Juno." - John Lemprière, A Classical Dictionary 1842, he also mentions I's sons Pisenor and Pirithous), while some differ between Centaurs and Odites ("Upon this Cloud Ixion begat the Centaurs, as also Odites Orneus, Phlegraus, Pnocus, and Riphaeus, who gave his name to a Tract of Mountains" - William King, An Historical Account of the Heathen Gods and Heroes, 1772, p. 203). So, there's a lot of merry mess which may not even be notable for Classical scholarship, but as late reception is also sometimes a noteworthy subject, it might become useful for someone someday, were some of it recorded here. --Ehitaja (talk) 12:43, 17 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
