Aepytus

For the genus of moths, see Aepytus (moth).

Aepytus (Ancient Greek: Αἴπυτος, romanized: Aípytos) can refer to several people in Greek mythology:[1]

• Aepytus, king of Arcadia and son of Elatus.[2]
• Aepytus, also a king of Arcadia and son of Hippothous.[3]
• Aepytus, son of the Heraclid Cresphontes.[4]

The name is not to be confused with Iapetus (Ancient Greek: Ἰαπετός, romanized: Iapetós).
