Caeneus

In Greek mythology, Caeneus (Ancient Greek: Καινεύς, Kaineus) was a Lapith hero of Thessaly. According to Ovid's Metamorphoses, he was originally a woman, Caenis, daughter of Atrax.

In Apollonius of Rhodes' Argonautica, he is briefly noted as the great father of a lesser son, Coronus, who sailed forth among the Argonauts. The striking mythic image of this hero is that, indomitable through his more-than-human power, his enemies the Centaurs resorted to driving him into the ground with timbers.
