Caeneus

Poseidon and Caenis, woodcut illustration of Ovid by Virgil Solis, 1563.
Caeneus fighting with a centaur, Attic lekythos with decoration in superposed colours, ca. 500-490 BC, Louvre (CA 2494).

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.
