Euros

In Greek mythology, Eurus is the god and personification of the east wind, although sometimes he is also said to be southeast specifically. He is one of the four principal wind gods, the Anemoi, alongside Boreas (north wind), Zephyrus (west wind) and Notus (south wind). His Roman equivalent is the god Vulturnus. Etymology The Greek noun refers to the wind that blows from the east. Its ultimately etymology is not clear, although it has been connected to the Greek words for dawn and aura. Early attestation of Eurus and wind-related worship is found in the Mycenaean Greek words (Linear B: ) and (Linear B: ), that is, "priestess of the winds", found on the KN Fp 1 and KN Fp 13 tablets. In post-Greek Dark Ages times, traces of Eurus's worship as part of the Four Winds is found in Titane in Corinthia where a sanctuary to the Winds stood, Sparta where Eurus was described as the ‘saviour of Sparta,' Coronea where they had an altar, and Attica. Mythology Eurus is traditionally the god of the east or south-east wind. He has been both described as rain-bringing and a dry type of wind.
