Aeolids
The Aeolids (Αἴολιδαί) were powerful rulers who established kingdoms in many parts of Greece. They were descendants of Aeolus, son of Hellen. Aeolus was a powerful ruler of Thessaly. The Aeolids could be found ruling kingdoms in Thessaly, Argos, Corinth, Orchomenus, Elis, Messenia and Calydon.
Note that the House of Elis and the House of Calydon can be found in the page titled Houses of Elis and Calydon.
