• Aethalides — A character in Greek mythology, son of the god Hermes and Eupolemeia, the legendary herald of the Argonauts during the quest for the Golden Fleece. He was endowed by his father with an absolutely infallible and eternal structural memory, which did not fade even after death or after crossing the river Lethe, allowing his soul to remember all successive reincarnations undergone during its cosmic migration.
• Aglauros — A name borne by several female characters in Greek mythology, the most famous being Aglauros (or Agraulos), daughter of King Cecrops of Athens and Aglauros. She was punished by the goddess Athena for breaking her promise not to look inside the secret box containing the infant Erichthonius, and was later turned to stone by the god Hermes due to her consuming jealousy.
• Alkamenes — A renowned ancient Greek sculptor of the 5th century BC, a contemporary and likely a pupil of Phidias, active in Athens and Lemnos. He is famous for his statues created in the classical style, combining perfection of form with great delicacy of detail, among his most famous works being 'Aphrodite in the Gardens' and representations of the gods Hermes and Hephaestus.
• Amphion — A legendary character in Greek mythology, son of Zeus and Antiope, and twin brother of Zethus. Gifted by the god Hermes with a magical lyre whose chords could move stones, Amphion rebuilt and fortified the walls of the city of Thebes, causing the rocks to move and stack themselves solely by the power of his divine music. He married Niobe and died of grief or committed suicide after their children were slain by Apollo and Artemis.
• Autolycus — The name of a famous character in Greek mythology, son of Hermes and Chione, maternal grandfather of Odysseus, recognized as a legendary master of theft, disguises, and cunning due to his ability to change the appearance of stolen goods. In modern sciences, the term names a prominent impact crater on the Moon, located in the Mare Imbrium plain, named in honor of the Greek mathematician and astronomer Autolycus of Pitane.
