Ae'olus, god of the winds, which he keeps imprisoned in a cave in the Æolian Islands, and lets free as he wishes or as the over-gods command.

Was I for this nigh wrecked upon the sea,

And twice by awkward wind from England's bank

Drove back again unto my native clime?...

Yet Aeolus would not be a murderer,

But left that hateful office unto thee.

Shakespeare, 2
