I have heard that Aurora had four children who are the four winds. One of them is Zephyr,the god of the west wind. Who are the other three?|||AURORA is the Roman goddess of the dawn. Her Greek name is Eos.
The children of Aurora were FAVONIUS (the West Wind), AQUILO (the North Wind), AUSTER (the South Wind), and EURUS (the East Wind). The Greek names for these four winds were Zephyrus, Boreas, Notus, and Eurus.
A fifth son was LUCIFER (the Morning Star). The Greeks called him Eosphorus.
Aurora or Eos was also the mother of mortal children, the most famous of whom was the black Ethiopian king MEMNON, who fought in the Trojan War and was killed by Achilles.
There is lots of information on the Greek and Roman wind gods, and other children of Aurora here:
