AEOLUS GOD OF WIND

AIOLOS (Aeolus) was the divine keeper of the winds and king of the mythical, floating island of Aiolia (Aeolia). He kept the violent Storm-Winds locked safely away inside the cavernous interior of his isle, releasing them only at the command of greatest gods to wreak devastation upon the world. 

He controlled the four winds that blew across the earth. The four winds were Boreas (the north wind), Zephyrus (the west wind), Eurus (the east wind), and Notus (the south wind).

Aeolus, as the keeper of the winds, represents the unpredictable and uncontrollable nature of the forces of nature. His story serves as a reminder of the dangers of hubris and the need to respect the power of the natural world.   He most certainly plays a role in those who choose to work the land and grow nature's harvest.

In modern times, the name Aeolus has also been used as the name for various weather-related systems and technologies, such as the Aeolus satellite, which is used to study the Earth's winds.

He was a son of Hippotes who is mentioned in the Odyssey and the Aenid as the ruler of the winds.
