Aetolus (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Aetolus (/iːˈtoʊləs/; Ancient Greek: Αἰτωλός Aitolos) was the name of the following figures:
- Aetolus, eponym of Aetolia and king of Elis.[1]
- Aetolus, father of Palaemon, who is counted among the Argonauts.[2]
- Aetolus, was son of Oxylus, the man who helped the Heracleidae, and of Pieria. Aetolus died before his parents, and they buried him in a tomb in the gate leading to Olympia because an oracle forbade the corpse to be laid either outside the city or within it.[3]
