in Greek mythology, was the north-east wind. He was represented on the Tower of the Winds in Athens, with earnest features, wet, loose beard and hair, and with a flying dress about his strong limbs. With both hands he holds a winnowing basket, out of which he throws rain and hailstones on the earth. He was so represented for bringing for Greece storms and hail, clouds and snow, and cold, wet weather.
