For the mythological king with this name, see
Aethlius.
Aethlius (
Ancient Greek: Ἀέθλιος) of
Samos was the author of a work titled Samian Annals (Ὧροι Σάμιοι),[1] the fifth book of which is quoted by
Athenaeus,[2] although he expresses a doubt about the genuineness of the work.[3] Aethlius is also referred to by
Clement of Alexandria and [4]Eustathius,[5] and in the
Etymologicum Magnum.[6] His dates are uncertain, but it is probable he lived some time in the 5th or 4th century BC.[7]
