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.
