HERMES.
EOLUS was the father of all the winds, great and small.
Long ago, they all lived happily together in a dark cave near the sea.
On holidays, North Wind, South Wind, East Wind and West Wind and their faithful sisters, came home and told of their travels.
The whirlwinds performed their most wonderful feats, and the zephyrs sang their sweetest songs.
These holidays, however, did not come often.
There were no idle children in the family of Æolus.
They swept and dusted the whole world. They carried water over all the earth. They helped push the great ships across the ocean.
