Greek Mythology > People, Places, & Things > Zephyros
The West Wind; one of the sons of Eos (Dawn) and Astraios and the husband of Iris; his brothers are: Boreas (North Wind) and Notos (South Wind).
There are two types of winds: 1) the divinely created winds, i.e. Boreas (North Wind), Notos (South Wind), Zephyros (West Wind) and the Etesian winds, and 2) the ill-favored winds that were created by the monster, Typhoeus, when Zeus imprisoned him under the earth; the divinely created winds nourish and bless the earth but the winds of Typhoeus are wild and destructive.
For more information on the Winds I suggest that you consult the Immortals section of this site.
