Nephele

After getting drunk, Ixion mated with this illusion and produced a centaur that was half human and half horse. Later, this ancestral centaur mated with a mare on Mount Pelion and became the ancestor of all centaurs. Afterwards, Nefele wandered in the halls of the Olympics. Hera ordered the king of Viotia, Atamas, to marry her and they had two children, Phileas and Haile.
