(West Wind) Greek The personification
of the West Wind. Zephyrus was the son of Eos,
goddess of the dawn, and of Astraeus, a Titan, or
Aeolus, the king of the winds.
Zephyrus was a balmy, gentle wind. Among his
many adventures, he blew Aphrodite to the shores
of Cyprus after she was born full grown in the foam
of the sea. He helped Cupid protect Psyche from
the anger of Aphrodite. With the one of the Harpies,
Zephyrus fathered the divine horses of Achilles and
the white horses of the dioscuri.
