ABSTRACT

Wind is not treated in any detail in Greek mythology. However, in a very general sense, mythological winds are referred to in two principal ways: as male gods who engage in humanlike activities and are also the winds themselves, and as nonhuman entities that can be conŸned in a bag. There are also the three principal winds: Zephyros (the west wind), Boreas (the north wind), and Notos (the south wind).
