Ζέφυρος





Zephyrus (Favonius in Latin) is the god and is the personification of the West Wind. The most called-on wind in myth, Zephyrus is believed to have inhabited a cave in Thrace during Greek times. His mother is Eos (Aurora in Latin), goddess of dawn, while his father is Astraeus, the Titan god of astronomy. One of the Anemoi (directional winds) with his brothers, Boreas (the North Wind), Eurus (the East Wind), and Notus (the South Wind); Zephyrus abducted the goddess Chloris (Flora in Latin) to be his wife and gave her power over flowers.
