A modern athlos through the traces of a legend

Aethlios is the first king of Ilis in the area of Olympia, son of Zeus and Protogenia. After Hercules, it is reported that Aethlios continues and protects the Races at Olympia.

From his name there will originate the words athlete, athlos … to define for ever the endeavour of man to overcome his natural powers
