In Greek mythology, Plouto or Pluto (Ancient Greek: Πλουτώ means 'wealth')[1] was the mother of Tantalus, usually by Zeus, though the scholion to Euripides' play Orestes 5[clarification needed], names Tmolos as the father.[2] According to Hyginus, Plouto's father was Himas,[3] while other sources give her father as Cronus.[4]
