Aiolos

He lived on an island in Aeolia, where Odysseus and his party visited. Aiolos gave him a bellows in which all the bad winds were enclosed. Thanks to this bellows, only a gentle wind called Zephyros powered Odysseus' ships. But Odysseus' crew opened the bellows. It released all the adverse winds, which drove all the ships back to Aiolus. He did not accept Ulysses again, thinking he was out of favor with the gods.

According to some sources, he was the son of Hellen (the forefather of the Greeks) and the nymph Orséis.
