Ae'thlius
(
*)Ae/qlios), 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.)
