He was a son of Poseidon who was gifted with prophecy. Zeus, angry that he revealed too much of the plans of the gods, punished Phineas by blinding him and putting him on an island alone with an endless buffet of food. Each time he tried to eat, though, a pair of harpies would come and steal whatever food they could, spoiling what remained behind.
This treatment went on until he was discovered by Jason and the Argonauts. Jason sent the sons of Boreas (who could fly) after the harpies, but at the request of Iris, did not kill them. Now free from his torment, Phineas told the Argonauts how to get past the Symplegades (the Clashing Rocks which were at the entrance to the Bosphorus - the straight that separates European Turkey from Asian Turkey).

Greek mythology originated in ancient Greece.
In Greek mythology, Phineas (also spelled Phineus) was a King of Thrace. See "Related Links" for more information.
The Harpies aren't associated with a specific god in Greek mythology. They were the daughters of Thaumus and Electra, and only seem to exist as a pestilence to Phineas, the prophetic king of Thrace.
In Greek mythology, the killing of Phineas by Perseus was seen as justified because Phineas was threatening Perseus's wife, Andromeda, and showed hostility towards him. Additionally, Phineas was portrayed as a villain who had wronged others, which further justified Perseus's actions in seeking revenge.
In Greek mythology, Phineas was a son of Zeus who had the gift of prophecy. He told too much to the mortals, and was punished by having harpies steal his food before he could eat it. He was eventually rescued by Jason and the Argonauts.
