The first king of Elis.1 He was a son of Zeus and Protogeneia, the daughter of Deucalion,2 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.3

Other traditions again made Aethlius a son of Aeolus, who was called by the name of Zeus.4
