Aethlius
(Ἀέθλιος), the first king of Elis. (Paus. 5.1.2.) He was a son of Zeus and Protogeneia, the daughter of Deucalion (Apollod. 1.7.2; Hyg. Fab. 155), and was married to Calyce, by whom he begot Endymion. According to some accounts Endymion was himself a son of Zeus and first king of Elis. (Apollod. 1.7.5.) Other traditions again made Aethlius a son of Aeolus, who was called by the name of Zeus. (Paus. 5.8.1.) [L.S]
(Ἀέθλιος), the author of a work entitled "Samian Annals" (Ὥροι Σάμιοι), the fifth book of which is quoted by Athenaeus, although he expresses a doubt about the genuineness of the work. (xiv. p. 650d. 653, f.) Aethlius is also referred to by Clemens Alexandrinus (Protr. p. 30a), Eustathius (ad Od. 7.120, p. 1573), and in the Etymologicum Magnum (s. v. νένωται), where the name is written Athlius.
