The four Anemoi including Zephyros, Nostos, Boreas, and Euros.
It's common throughout Greek mythology for natural forces in our world to be personified into individual gods and goddesses. This was especially true in ancient Greek society for the personification of the wind, represented by four distinct deities collectively referred to as the Anemoi. These four Anemoi included the gods Zephyros, Notos, Boreas, and Euros. Each of these gods was associated with a direction as well as a season.
