Theogony
God of wealth, son of Demeter and the mortal Iasion.
Demeter, bright goddess, was joined in sweet love with the hero Iasion in a thrice-ploughed fallow in the rich land of Crete, and bore Plutus, a kindly god who goes everywhere over land and the sea's wide back, and he makes rich the man who finds him and into whose hands he comes, bestowing great wealth upon him.
Hymn 2 to Demeter
Plutus is the wealth-giving divine figure sent by Demeter and Persephone to blessed mortals.
soon they do send Plutus as guest to his great house, Plutus who gives wealth to mortal men.
