Aethon
In Greek and Roman mythology there are several characters known as Aethon:According to Ovid (II, 153), one of Helios' horses.According to Virgil (XI, 89), Pallas' horse.The personification of famine, Demeter placed him in Erysichthon's gut, making Erysichthon permanently famished. His Roman equivalent was Fames, a female deity.According to Homer (XIX, 180), the pseudonym Odysseus assumed during his interview with Penelope upon his return to Ithaka.Hyginus refers to the eagle that repeatedly ate Prometheus' innards as "aethonem aquilam". The author could be applying the name Aethon to the eagle, or simply using a transliteration of the Greek adjective "", which may mean "red-brown" or "tawny".
