Αιθαλιδης
Son of Hermes and Eupolemia, the daughter of Myrmidon. Aethalides was an exceptional archer. He took part in the Argonauts' expedition, in which he acted as herald. He had inherited from his father an exceptionally good memory, which he retained in Hades after his death. Moreover he did not always stay among the dead but came back to live among men for short periods.
