Ixion was constructed in 1893 at the Scott Shipbuilding & Engineering Co. shipyard in Greenock, United Kingdom. She was completed in 1893 and she was named Ixion and served from 1893 until her demise in 1911.
The ship was 108.1 metres (354ft 8in) long, with a beam of 13 metres (42ft 8in) and a depth of 8.1 metres (26ft 7in). The ship was assessed at 3,489GRT. She had a Triple expansion steam engine driving a single screw propeller. The engine was rated at 2285 i.h.p.
Sinking
On 1 October 1911, one of Ixion's coal bunkers caught fire and sank the ship off the coast of Indonesia. 24 of the 47 crew members lost their lives in the tragedy, the remaining 23 crew were rescued by the British steamer Good Hope
In Greek mythology, Ixion (/ɪkˈsaɪ.ən/ik-SY-ən;Greek:Ἰξίων, gen.: Ἰξίωνος) was king of the Lapiths, the most ancient tribe of Thessaly, and a son of Ares, or Leonteus, or Antion and Perimele, or the notorious evildoer Phlegyas, whose name connotes "fiery". Peirithoös was his son (or stepson, if Zeus were his father, as the sky-god claims to Hera in Iliad 14).
Background
Ixion married Dia, a daughter of Deioneus (or Eioneus) and promised his father-in-law a valuable present. However, he did not pay the bride price, so Deioneus stole some of Ixion's horses in retaliation. Ixion concealed his resentment and invited his father-in-law to a feast at Larissa. When Deioneus arrived, Ixion pushed him into a bed of burning coals and wood. These circumstances are secondary to the fact of Ixion's primordial act of murder; it could be accounted for quite differently: in the Greek Anthology (iii.12), among a collection of inscriptions from a temple in Cyzicus is an epigrammatic description of Ixion slaying Phorbas and Polymelos, who had slain his mother, Megara, the "great one".
Ixion is a preserved British Rail Class 46 diesel locomotive.
Ford created a concept vehicle known as the Ixion.
One of the colors used by Toyota UK is Ixion blue.
Ixion was the nom de plume of Canon B.H. Davies, a Church of England clergymen who wrote for The Motor Cycle magazine from 1903 until the 1960s.
Computer and video games
Ixion appears in various incarnations throughout the Final Fantasy series as both a summoned monster and an enemy monster.
In the video game Soul Calibur III, it is Tira's second unlockable weapon. It fits, as Tira's weapons are giant chakrams (metal bladed rings), which refers to Ixion's fate. In the same game, in Chronicles of the Sword, Chronicle 20, Ixion is an enemy.

Full Returnal Boss Guide: https://www.powerpyx.com/returnal-boss-guide-all-bosses/
General Tips: As with all bosses, you must focus primarily on evading damage in this fight. Don't worry too much about Overloading (pressing :r2: in middle of weapon reloads), just keep shooting at the boss the entire time. Pistols and the Carbine are best here. Bring a Large Silphium Vial (item) to the fight, one is always found at the very start of 2nd World (Crimson Waste), after you go through the portal from the 1st to 2nd world. Afterward just rush to the boss, you can ignore all enemies along the way. When you've reached the boss for the first time, a portal unlocks where you enter the "foot of the mountain" (end of the desert, to the left of where you enter the building complex). This portal will now be unlocked permanently, so you can skip half the world on each retry to save time. Having a 2nd health item would also be beneficial. The boss can be quite tricky the first few tries, especially his third phase.
Phase 1: He will shoot a lot of orbs at you. Just keep walking around him in big circles. Whenever he moves to a new location he will spray some orbs, but they are slow and don't travel far (don't get hit in the back by them though!). You can evade all his attacks in the first phase just by walking sideways the entire time. If orbs get too close to you, do a short dash sideways.
Phase 2: At the start of the phase he will stand in the middle of the arena and shoots orbs and walls of blue energy at you. Stay as far back as possible, at the edge of the arena. When the blue wall comes towards you, dash through it, then immediately backtrack to the edge of the arena! Repeat this and keep shooting at him until he starts flying again, at this point he always starts by flying in a straight line through the middle of the arena which leaves behind a trail of orbs and 2 walls of blue energy. Dodge through the wall of energy again. He'll repeat this same move a total of 3 times, just run from one side of the arena to the other and keep moving. After he did the same flying attack 3 times in a row he will repeat most of the attacks of Phase 1. There are some slightly different orb variations, but you can again outrun / dodge all of them by just moving sideways the entire time.
Phase 3: This is where it gets tricky. At the start of the 3rd phase he'll do the same thing he did at the start of the 2nd phase. He'll stand in the middle and again shoot orbs and blue energy walls at you, so repeat what you did before. After this he enters a melee phase, he'll stop flying and instead starts jumping at you and tries to deal melee attacks. He will also start casting red rings of energy around him that shoot towards you, particularly after melee attacks. When he's about to do a melee attack, dodge back and immediately jump up in the air ( :l-down: + :circle: , :x: )! This will avoid the red energy rings. He also releases red orbs after his melee attacks, but they don't have much range and are easy to evade by walking/dodging back. Sometimes he will stand still and shoot orbs at you, just walk sideways to evade those. If you've already done the fight a few times, try to perfect the first 2 phases so you don't waste any health items. Keep your health items for the third phase.

Wiki: In Greek mythology, Ixion was king of the Lapiths, the most ancient tribe of Thessaly, and a son of Ares, or Leonteus, or Antion and Perimele, or the notorious evildoer Phlegyas, whose name connotes "fiery". Peirithoös was his son (or stepson, if Zeus were his father, as Zeus claims to Hera in Iliad.
Ixion was constructed in 1893 at the Scott Shipbuilding & Engineering Co. shipyard in Greenock, United Kingdom. She was completed in 1893 and she was named Ixion and served from 1893 until her demise in 1911.
The ship was 108.1 metres (354ft 8in) long, with a beam of 13 metres (42ft 8in) and a depth of 8.1 metres (26ft 7in). The ship was assessed at 3,489GRT. She had a Triple expansion steam engine driving a single screw propeller. The engine was rated at 2285 i.h.p.
Sinking
On 1 October 1911, one of Ixion's coal bunkers caught fire and sank the ship off the coast of Indonesia. 24 of the 47 crew members lost their lives in the tragedy, the remaining 23 crew were rescued by the British steamer Good Hope
