The lord of the winds who was given his powers by Zeus; he lived on the floating island of Aeolia which is assumed to be located slightly north of the island of Sicily.
Aeolus is most famous in mythology for assisting Odysseus in his quest to return home after the fall of the city of Troy; Aiolos put the winds into a container and told Odysseus not to open it until he was safely at home; members of Odysseus’ crew opened the container hoping to find treasure and unleashed the winds which drove them back to the island of Aeolia; Aiolos refused to help Odysseus again and his ships were left to the merciless winds.
