Who is Phineas from greek mythology?

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).
