Aeaces is named as the father of POLYCRATES of Samos twice by Herodotus (2.182; 3.39) but makes no appearance himself in the narrative. If this is the same Aeaces named in an INSCRIPTION on a statue, which probably dates to c. 540 BCE, found on the ancient ACROPOLIS of SAMOS (IG XII.6.ii.561 = ML 16), he may have held a magistracy there during a period of stability and prosperity in the second quarter of the sixth century (Carty 2015, 49–66). The inscription itself may have been added by his grandson and namesake AEACES SON OF SYLOSON.
