In Greek mythology, the Anemoi ("winds") were wind gods  who were each ascribed a cardinal direction, from which their respective winds came, and were each associated with various seasons and weather  conditions.
Of the four chief Anemoi, Boreas was the north wind and bringer of cold winter air, Notus was the south wind and bringer of the storms of late summer and autumn, and Zephyrus was the west wind and bringer of light spring and early summer breezes; Eurus, the east wind, was not associated with any of the three Greek seasons, and is the only one of these four Anemoi not mentioned in Hesiod's Theogony  or in the Orphic Hymns.
