A lot of speculation lately regarding this ancient figure. In a popular Greek TV show somebody linked the Philadelphia experiment with US military bases near Marathon, and strange events taking place in the ancient battle of Marathon. Was Ehetlaios an ancestral hero, an American terminator having time traveled, or an alien android?

Let's start off with his name:

EXETLAIOS = 1221

and a Rush song:

“One humanoid escapee
One android on the run
Seeking freedom beneath a lonely desert sun

Trying to change its program
Trying to change the mode -- crack the code
Images conflicting into data overload

Chorus
1-0-0-1-0-0-1
Sos
1-0-0-1-0-0-1
In distress
1-0-0-1-0-0

Memory banks unloading
Bytes break into bits
Unit one's in trouble and it's scared out of its wits

Guidance systems break down
A struggle to exist
To resist
A pulse of dying power in a clenching plastic fist

Chorus
It replays each of the days
A hundred years of routines
Bows its head and prays
To the mother of all machines”
