Aëthlius

Classical

Aëthlius (Aethlius) was the earliest known ruler of the region and city of Elis. Aëthlius was the son of Aeolus and Protogeneia.

However, not much is known about Aëthlius except that he married his half-sister, Calyce, daughter of his father Aeolus and Enartes, and became the father of Endymion, who succeeded him to the throne. Either Aëthlius or his son was the founder of the kingdom of Elis.

See the House of Elis for the family tree of his descendants.
