Description

Son of Hippotes This Aeolus is most frequently conflated with Aeolus, the son of Poseidon (God of the sea). It is difficult to delineate this Aeolus from the second Aeolus, as their identities seem to have been merged by many ancient writers. The father of this third Aeolus is given as Mimas, a son of the first Aeolus (son of Hellen). According to some accounts, Mimas married the same Melanippe who was the mother of Arne. This Aeolus lived on the floating island of Aeolia and was visited by Odysseus and his crew in the Odyssey. He gave hospitality for a month and provided for a west wind to carry them home. He also provided a gift of a bag containing each of the four winds, which Odysseus's crew members unwittingly opened just before they were to reach Ithaca. Unfortunately, they were blown back to Aeolia, where Aeolus refused to provide any further help, because he believed that their short and unsuccessful voyage meant that the Gods did not favour them. This Aeolus was perceived by post-Homeric authors as a god, rather than as a mortal and simple Keeper of the Winds (as in the Odyssey). Eolo (hijo de HÃpotes) SeÃ±or de los Vientos, vivÃa en la isla flotante de Eolia con sus seis hijos y sus seis hijas. Zeus le habÃa dado el poder de controlar los vientos, Eolo los tenÃa encadenados en un antro profundo, donde los gobernaba con un dominio absoluto, apresÃ¡ndolos o liberÃ¡ndolos a su antojo, ya que todos los vientos liberados podrÃan provocar graves desastres en el cielo, la tierra y las aguas. Eolo era responsable del control de las tempestades, y los dioses, le pedÃan en algunos casos su ayuda como hizo Hera para impedir que Eneas desembarcase en Italia. TambiÃ©n tratÃ³ de ayudar a Odiseo que lo visitÃ³ al retornar a Ã�taca. Eolo lo tratÃ³ muy bien, y le dio un viento favorable, ademÃ¡s de una bolsa que contenÃa todos los vientos y que debÃa ser utilizada con cuidado. Sin embargo, la tripulaciÃ³n de Odiseo creyÃ³ que la bolsa contenÃa oro y la abriÃ³, provocando graves tempestades. La nave terminÃ³ regresando a las costas de Eolia, pero Eolo se negÃ³ a ayudarles de nuevo. Eolo es representado empuÃ±ando un cetro como sÃmbolo de su autoridad, y rodeado de turbulentos remolinos, los Vientos, cada uno de los cuales era un dios. by wikipedia , thanks
