Entellus (/ɪnˈtɛləs, ɛn-/) was a Trojan or Sicilian hero from whom the town of Entella in Sicily was believed to have received its name.[1] He was a friend of the Trojan king Acestes. A boxing match between Entellus and an arrogant younger boxer, Dares, is described in the fifth book of Virgil's Aeneid.
Entellus is the namesake of the Gray langur Presbytis entellus.
