Aeolus
Greek wind god
Aeolus is the Greek god of winds, keeper of the winds in a bag or cave.
In Homer's *Odyssey*, he gives Odysseus a bag containing all unfavorable winds—which his crew foolishly opens.
The name appears in scientific contexts: aeolian processes involve wind erosion and deposition.
The aeolian harp produces sound from wind passing over its strings.
