Astraeus and Eos are the parents of the four Anemoi: Boreas, Zephyrus, Notus, and Eurus, the gods who control the directional winds.
Zeus appointed Aeolus as keeper of the winds, granting him power to release or restrain Eurus and his brothers. In Odyssey 10, Aeolus confined the winds in a leather bag for Odysseus.
The Anemoi are the four wind gods: Boreas (north), Zephyrus (west), Notus (south), and Eurus (east), each governing a cardinal direction's wind.
