Eurus
In Greek mythology, Eurus (Ancient Greek: Εὖρος, romanized: Euros, lit. 'east wind') is the god and personification of the east wind, although sometimes he is also said to be southeast specifically. He is one of the four principal wind gods, the Anemoi, alongside Boreas (north wind), Zephyrus (west wind) and Notus (south wind). His Roman equivalent is the god Vulturnus.
