Plutus Greek Son of Demeter and Iasion, son of Zeus and Electra (2); god of wealth and of the Earth's abundant harvests. (He is not to be confused with Pluto, god of the Underworld.) Plutus was believed to be blind because he distributed wealth to good and bad alike. Plutus appears in Hesiod's Theogony, Aristophanes' Plutus, and the Divine Comedy of Italian poet Dante (1265-1321).
