HelpRe: Names of winds from Greek mythology
in reply to a message by knittinghobo
From my trusty old "Who's Who In Mythology?" book:
Names of the Winds:
Boreas (the north wind)
Euros (the east wind)
Notos (the south wind)
Zephyros, or Zephyr (the west wing, but you already knew this one)
Lips (the south-wast wind)
Apeliotes (the south east wind)
I'm not sure which ones are masculine and which are feminine, but at least Boreas was male since he appears in a myth as Zephyr's rival of the flower-goddess Chloris's love.
Then there's, of course, Aeolos (Aiolus), the god of winds.
