Aeolis the Greek God of Wind

Aeolis the Greek God of Wind

Aeolis Wind Power Corporation is named after the Greek God of Wind.  Aeolis is pronounced (A-O'-lis).  The name, Aeolis, is based on Greek tradition.  Aeolus was a minor deity to the Greeks, being the god of winds.  On the island of Aeolia, he kept the winds imprisoned in a cave, releasing them as gales or breezes, depending on the orders handed down to him from Mount Olympus.

When Odysseus visited Aeolus, Aeolus bound and sealed the forceful winds into a bag and gave them to Odysseus-promising that if the winds remained pent up, the trip back to Ithaca would be much easier. Indeed, Odysseus made good time on his voyage home.  Unfortunately, within sight of Ithaca, his jealous crew opened the bag and he was blown off course and the epic voyage that ensued is still told today.  By naming our company Aeolis, we honour the deities of Mount Olympus so that favorable winds assist our voyage and find our wind energy sites.
