Anemoi#Eurus

Euros ( Greek Εὖρος ) was the east wind in Greek mythology. His parents are Astraeus, the god of dusk, and the goddess of the dawn Eos. The brothers of Euros are the Anemoi.

Originally, all easterly winds were called Euros. Especially as the wind that blows in winter from the southeast ago, the euro was also referred to as Eurónotos. Also in the Tower of the Winds in Athens, he appears as a southeast wind. According to Vitruvius, the euro has the name because it is ( quod ex procreatur auris ) from the direction of the dawn.

The blowing directly from the east wind was Apheliotes (Greek Ἀφηλιώτης ionically Ἀπηλιώτης ) called. The Romans called him subsolanus or Solanus. According to Aristotle, the Apheliotes is wet and blowing exactly from the east.
