Caeneus

Kaineus ( altgr.: Καινεύς of καινόω = process of reforming ) is a figure in Greek mythology. He is one of invulnerable Lapiths, son of Lapithenfürsten Elatus, who was buried in the course of the battle with the Centaurs of these under logs and crushed by it.

Kaineus should, according to a probably younger, Hellenistic word version formerly a girl named have been Kainis, the god of the sea Poseidon gave himself, who for the request fulfilled her to be transformed into an invulnerable man.
