Aethicus (mythology)

In Greek mythology, Aethicus (Ancient Greek: Αἴθικον) was a Paphlagonian champion who fought against the Achaeans in the Trojan War.

Mythology

Aethicus only appeared in only in one myth as

Gallantly spake he: with exceeding joy

Rejoiced the Trojans. Champions then he chose,

Alexander and Aeneas fiery-souled,

Polydamas, Pammon, and Deiphobus,

And Aethicus, of Paphlagonian men

The staunchest man to stem the tide of war;

These chose he, cunning all in battle-toil,

To meet the foe in forefront of the fight.
