Oncius [SEP] father
Oncius
In Greek mythology, Oncius (Ancient Greek: Ὅγκιος "Onkios") or Oncus (Ὅγκος "Onkos") was a son of Apollo and a ruler over Onceium (Onkeion), a region of Arcadia adjacent to Thelpusa, as well as eponym of a city Oncae. He owned a herd of horses, in which Demeter tried to hide from Poseidon's advances, changing herself into a mare. Poseidon did mate with her in the shape of a stallion, which resulted in the birth of the fantastic horse
Arion. Oncius kept Arion and later gave him away to Heracles as the latter was starting a military campaign against Elis.
