In Greek mythology and Roman mythology there are four 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 ( Odyssey XIX, 180), the pseudonym Odysseus assumed during his interview with Penelope upon his return to Ithaka.

My name's well known—Aethon—the younger son,
but Idomeneus was older by birth     
and was the finer man. I saw Odysseus there
and gave him welcoming gifts.
