The East or Southeast Wind.
There are two types of winds: 1) the divinely created winds, i.e. Boreas (North Wind), Notos (South Wind), Zephyros (West Wind) and the Etesian winds, and 2) the ill-favored winds that were created by the monster, Typhoeus, when Zeus imprisoned him under the earth; Eurus is one of the ill-favored winds.
The divinely created winds nourish and bless the earth but the winds of Typhoeus are wild and destructive.
