 Iapetus (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Iapetus is sometimes equated with Japheth, the son of Noah, based on the similarity of their names.
In Greek mythology Iapetus, or Iapetos, was a Titan, the son of Uranus and Gaia, and father (by an Oceanid named Clymene or Asia) of Atlas, Prometheus, Epimetheus, and Menoetius and through Prometheus and Epimetheus and Atlas an ancestor of the human race.
Since mostly the Titans indulge in marriage of brother and sister, it might be that Aeschylus is using an old tradition in which Themis is Iapetus' wife but that the Hesiodic tradition preferred that Themis and Mnemosyne be consorts of Zeus alone.

Since Iapetus is so far from Saturn and thus avoided much of the heating its other moons recieved, it may have formed with methane or ammonia ice in its interior; the dark material could be explained by volcano-like eruptions of methane.
