This man fell in love with Hera; she announced [this] to Zeus, who, wanting to learn [the truth about] this, made a cloud in the shape of Hera and set it up. And Ixion had sex with the cloud. And Zeus became angry and punished him [by] stretching him out on a wheel, forever carrying [him with it] and turning around.
