Described as the ruler of Aeolia ( later called Thessaly ) and held to be the founder of the Aeolic branch of the Greek nation, this Aeolus married Enarete, daughter of Deimachus ( otherwise unknown ).

Calyce, Peisidice, Perimede and Alcyone were counted among the daughters of Aeolus and Enarete.

Sisyphus was son of King Aeolus of Thessaly and Enarete, and the founder and first king of Ephyra ( supposedly the original name of Corinth ).

He was a son of Aeolus and Enarete, and sired several children by his first wife, the goddess Nephele, and his other wives Ino and Themisto.

In Greek mythology, Alcyone (, Halkyónē ) was the daughter of Aeolus, either by Enarete or Aegiale.

In Greek mythology, Canace () was a daughter of Aeolus and Enarete, and lover of Poseidon.

* Macareus ( son of Aeolus ), the son of Aeolus and either Enarete or Amphithea.

In Greek mythology, Enarete () or Aenarete (, Ainarete ), daughter of Deimachus, was the wife of Aeolus and ancestress of the Aeolians .< ref > Enarete is the form found in the manuscripts of Bibliotheca 1. 7. 1, which takes to be a misspelling of Aenarete, the form written in the scholia to Plato, Minos 315c, since Enarete cannot stand in a hexameter line and the Bibliotheca < nowiki >'</ nowiki > s primary source at this point is the epic Hesiodic Catalogue of Women.

In Greek mythology, Salmoneus () was a son of Aeolus and Enarete, and brother of Athamas, Sisyphus, Cretheus, Perieres, Deioneus, Canace, Alcyone, and Perimede.

In Greek mythology, Cretheus or Krētheus () was the king and founder of Iolcus, the son of Aeolus ( son of Hellen ) and Enarete.

His parentage and offspring varies across ancient authors ; in most sources, however, he was a son of Aeolus and Enarete, and husband of Gorgophone, daughter of Perseus.

She first married Perieres, king of Messene, son of Aeolus and Enarete, and had by him two sons, Leucippus and Aphareus.

His paternal grandparents were Aeolus of Thessaly and Enarete.

This Aeolus also had an illegitimate daughter named Arne, begotten on Melanippe, daughter of the Centaur Cheiron.

Aeolus had six sons and six daughters, whom in Homer he wed to one another and the family lived happily together.

Later writers were shocked by the incest: in Hyginus, the day Aeolus learned that one of his sons, Macareus, had committed incest with his sister Canace he expelled Macareus and threw the child born of this incestuous union to the dogs, and sent his daughter a sword by which she was to kill herself.

Like the previous, this Aeolus was said to have had had twelve children-six sons and six daughters.

His rule extended as far as Afyon, in central Anatolia. At the end of the 12th century the area was occupied by a nomadic tribe that had come from across the Caucasus mountains. The tribe was called by the ancient Greeks the " Wind people " ( Ανέμου γένος ) after whom the city was named. The exact reasons behind this name are lost in time. The most probable explanation however, is that they worshiped a god of wind, perhaps similar to the Greek Aeolus, as their main deity.

It is difficult to differentiate this Aeolus from the second Aeolus, as their identities seem to have been merged by many ancient writers.

The great extent of country which this race occupied, and the desire of each part of it to trace its origin to some descendant of Aeolus, probably gave rise to the varying accounts about the number of his children.

Another list of Aeolus ' children is found in scholia on the Odyssey.

This tradition made them children of a different Aeolus, the lord of the winds ( or the Tyrrhenian king ), and his wife Amphithea.

All three men named Aeolus appear to be connected genealogically, although the precise relationship, especially regarding the second and third Aeolus, is often ambiguous.

They state that these were originally the seven days each year ( either side of the shortest day of the year ) during which Alcyone ( as a kingfisher ) laid her eggs and made her nest on the beach and during which her father Aeolus, god of the winds, restrained the winds and calmed the waves so she could do so in safety.

the Ancient Greeks believed these sounds were the voice of Aeolus.

When Bœotus and Æolus were born, they were raised by Metapontus ; but their stepmother ( Autolyte, wife of Metapontus ) quarrelled with their mother Arne, prompting Bœotus and Aeolus to kill Autolyte and flee from Icaria.

Bœotus ( accompanied by Arne ) went to southern Thessaly, and founded Boeotia ; but Aeolus went to a group of islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea, which received from him the name of the Aeolian Islands ; according to some accounts this Aeolus founded the town of Lipara.

For example, one might argue that the myth of the wind-god Aeolus evolved from a historical account of a king who taught his people to use sails and interpret the winds.

The name comes from Aeolus, Greek god of the winds, though the reason for the name change is disputed.

Their name derives from Aeolus, the mythical ancestor of the Aeolic branch and son of Hellen, the mythical patriarch of the Greek nation.

Trygaeus ' flight on the dung beetle is a parody of Euripides ' play Bellerephon, his daughter's appeal to him is a parody of a speech from Aeolus ( 114-23 ) and there is a deliberate misquote from his play Telephus ( 528 ).

Antiochus of Syracuse said that it was originally called Metabus, from a hero of that name, who appears to have been identified with the Metapontus who figured in the Greek mythical story as the husband of Melanippe and father of Aeolus and Boeotus.

These three personages are often difficult to tell apart, and even the ancient mythographers appear to have been perplexed about which Aeolus was which.

Some scholars contend that the most ancient and genuine story told of only four sons of Aeolus: Sisyphus, Athamas, Cretheus, and Salmoneus, as the representatives of the four main branches of the Aeolic race.

Despite any difficulties with Homer's description of the island, in classical and Roman times the island now called " Ithaca " was universally held to be the home of Odysseus ; the Hellenistic identifications of Homeric sites, such as the identifications of Lipari as the island of Aeolus, are usually taken with a grain of salt, and attributed to the ancient tourist trade.

According to the Hesiodic Catalogue of Women on the origin of the Greeks, Hellen's three sons Dorus, Xuthus ( with his sons Ion and Achaeus ) and Aeolus, comprised the set of progenitors of the major ancient tribes that formed the Greek nation.

It is named after Aeolus, the ancient Greek god of the wind.

This Aeolus was son of Hellen and the nymph Orseis, and a brother of Dorus, Xuthus and, in some sources, of Amphictyon ( who is otherwise a brother of Hellen ).

Each of the Greek ethne were said to be named in honor of their respective ancestors: Achaeus of the Achaeans, Danaus of the Danaans, Cadmus of the Cadmeans ( the Thebans ), Hellen of the Hellenes ( not to be confused with Helen of Troy ), Aeolus of the Aeolians, Ion of the Ionians, and Dorus of the Dorians.

Sons of Hellen and the nymph Orsiis were Dorus, Xuthos, and Aeolus.

Juno asking Aeolus to release the winds, by François Boucher, 1769, Kimbell Art Museum.

Aeolus (, Aiolos, Modern Greek: ), a name shared by three mythic characters, was the ruler of the winds in Greek mythology.

Briefly, the first Aeolus was a son of Hellen and eponymous founder of the Aeolian race ; the second was a son of Poseidon, who led a colony to islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea ; and the third Aeolus was a son of Hippotes who is mentioned in Odyssey book 10 as Keeper of the Winds who gives Odysseus a tightly closed bag full of the captured winds so he could sail easily home to Ithaca on the gentle West Wind.

Another son is named Mimas, who provides a link to the third Aeolus in a genealogy that seems very contrived.

This Arne became the mother of the second Aeolus, by the god Poseidon.

Aeolus by Alexandre Jacovleff shows Aeolus as an embodiment of Wind himself.

This Aeolus was a son of Poseidon by Arne, sister of Aeolus.
