About this book

Ixion In Heaven is by Benjamin Disraeli, and its advertisement says that Ixion, King of Thessaly, famous for its horses, married Dia, daughter of Deioneus. The advertisement says that Ixion was shunned and despised by all mankind, and that Jupiter had compassion upon him, carried him to Heaven, and introduced him to the Father of the Gods. A speaker who is told the name Ixion of Thessaly says he thought Ixion a happy man and had heard that Ixion was just married.

Juno just acknowledged the entrance of Ixion by a slight and haughty inclination of the head, and Apollo greeted him with a melancholy smile and congratulated him on being mortal. Apollo says that his candle is out, Mars says that his is out too, and Cupid says that all the candles are out, a regular fog.
