Aitolos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology Aitolos (Αιτωλός) (also Aetolus) may refer to:
- Aetolus, son of Endymion, a king of Elis who ran over Apis, son of Jason, at the funeral games for Azar
- Aitolos, father of Palaemon.[citation needed]
- Aitolos, son of Oxylus and Pieria. He died at a tender age, and his parents were enjoined by an oracle to bury him neither within nor without the town of Elis. They accordingly buried him under the gate at which the road to Olympia commenced. The gymnasiarch of Elis used to offer an annual sacrifice on his tomb as late as the time of Pausanias.[1]
