Aeolus was known as the keeper/god of the winds (Anemoi) who lived on the floating island of Aeolia. He played an important part in the Odyssey as the one who gave Odysseus the bag of winds to blow the ships home to Ithaca. Unfortunately, the crew thought Odyseeus was hiding gold and opened the bag, letting out the winds in the opposite direction towards the island of Lipara.
