Relating to Aetolia, an ancient region of Greece, or its people, culture, and history.

Etymology

From Aetolia, an ancient region in central Greece, + -an (relating to). The region was home to the Aetolian League, an important political confederation.

Kelly Says

The Aetolians were fierce ancient Greeks whose confederation became so powerful it even threatened Rome's dominance—they're basically the underdog warriors of ancient history that most people forget about because Athens and Sparta got all the attention.
