Etias
Greek · quartigod · post trojan war · Recorded classification
Quartigod daughter of Aeneas, eponym of Etis in Laconia per Pausanias 3.22.11. The Pausanian eponymous-toponym foundation-narrative attests an alternative-line tradition wherein Aeneas's storm-driven journey passed through Laconia and produced this localized-cult-foundation. The Etias-cult at Etis is one of the more obscure Aphrodite-line Aeneadic foundations, but the primary attestation is firm.
