Aeolus and Aenarete, Gods of the Winds

             Aeolus, the son of Hippotes, is the Keeper of the Four Winds within the myth known as Homer's Odyssey. 
Aeolus is a minor god placed on the island of Aeolia by the more prestigious Olympian gods of Greek mythology. He is placed in charge of the Anemoi Theullai, the four spirits of the four winds kept deep within the island of Aeolia. 
When the Olympian gods wanted to send wind or storms to the vessels of the Greeks, they would command Aeolus to release the four winds.
The four main Anemoi are Boreas (North), Zephyrus (West), Notus (South) and Eurus (East).
Their Roman equivalents (Venti) are, respectively, Aquilon, Favonius, Auster and Vulturnus.
