(Redirected from Aetolus)In
Greek mythology 'Aitolos' (Αίτολος) (also 'Aetolus') may refer to:
★ 'Aitolos', the son of
Endymion who reigned as King of
Elis. His mother was either a
Iphianassa Asterodia,
Chromia,
Hyperippe, or a
naiad. He killed
Apis, the ruler of
Apia. Aitolos ruled
Aetolia, which took its name from him. He married
Pronoe and had two sons,
Pleuron and
Calydon (the names of two of cities of Aetolia).

★ 'Aitolos', father of
Palaemon.
★ 'Aitolos', son of
Oxylus and
Pieria. He died before his parents and was buried by them in a tomb in
Olympia's gate, because an oracle forbade any burial either within or outside the city.
