A king of Elis tried to imitate this character by dragging hide-bound brazen cauldrons behind his chariot and hurling oaken torches in the air. One of this character's sons offered him a sacrifice as "the Averter of Flies" at the founding of the Olympic Games.

He once had all his sinews ripped out, placed in a bag, and put under the guardianship of the monstrous Delphyne. As an infant, he was placed in a cradle and the sounds of his wailing were drowned out by the spear-clashing Curetes, so that his father would not devour him.
