Aeolus (son of Hellen)

Aeolus was one of the central figures in the myths that were invented to explain the origins of the Greek people. He was the grandson of Deucalion the founder of the Deucalionids, one of the two most important families in Greek mythology (the other being the Inachids, the descendants of Inachus who originated in Argos). Deucalion was the son of Prometheus, and the survivor of a great primordial flood, that covered much, if not all, of Greece (and the rest of the world, in late accounts). From Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha, sprang a new race of people, which repopulated Central Greece and the western Peloponnese. Deucalion and Pyrrha had a son Hellen, the eponym of the Hellenes, another name for the Greeks.Hard 2004, [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA401 p. 401]; Gantz, pp. 164–167; Apollodorus, [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0548.tlg001.perseus-eng1:1.7.2 1.7.2]. Compare Hesiod frr. 3, 5 Most (Most, pp. 44–47).

From Hellen came the eponyms of the four major tribes of the Greek people. According to the Hesiodic Catalogue of Women, Hellen had three sons: Dorus, Xuthus, and Aeolus. Dorus was the eponym of the Dorians, and Xuthus's sons Achaeus and Ion were, respectively, the eponyms of the Acheaens and Ionians. However, it was from Hellen's third son Aeolus, the eponym of the Aeolians, that most if not all, of the heroes and heroines of the Deucalionids come.Hard 2004, pp. [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA401 401], [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA404 404–405]; Gantz, p. 167; Hesiod frr. 9, 10.20–23 Most (Most, pp. 48, 49, 52, 53); Hesiod fr. 4 Evelyn-White (Evelyn-White, [https://books.google.com/books?id=gYBiAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA156 pp. 156, 157])]; Apollodorus, [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0548.tlg001.perseus-eng1:1.7.3 1.7.3]. Ion is probably the missing name of the second child of Xuthus given in Hesiod fr 10a.23, see Gantz, p. 167; Most p. 53.

The surviving Catalogue fragments do not contain the name of Aeolus' mother, but according to a scholion on Plato's Symposium citing Hellanicus (fl. late fifth century BC), her name was Othreis (Ὀθρηίς),Scholia on Plato's Symposium 208d (Cufalo, [https://books.google.com/books?id=WR4mcRM5_M8C&pg=PA108 pp. 108–10]) [= BNJ [https://scholarlyeditions-brill-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/reader/urn:cts:greekLit:fgrh.0004.bnjo-2-ed-grc:f125?right=bnjo-2-tr1-eng fr. 125 (with English translation)] = FGrHist 4 F125 = Hellanicus [https://books.google.com/books?id=j0nRE4C2WBgC&pg=PA200 fr. 125 Fowler (Fowler 2000, pp. 200–1])]. For a discussion of Hellanicus fr. 125, see Fowler 2013, pp. 489–493. while according to Apollodorus she was a nymph named Orseis (Ὀρσηίς). M. L. West says that both Othreis and Orseis are "probably" corruptions of Othyis (Ὀθρυίς), a nymph of Mount Othrys.West, p. 57.

According to Apollodorus, Aeolus, married Enarete, the daughter of Deimachus, and together they had seven sons and five daughters. Apollodorus lists the sons as Cretheus, Sisyphus, Athamas, Salmoneus, Deion, Magnes, and Perieres, and the daughters as Canace, Alcyone, Pisidice, Calyce, and Perimede.Hard 2004, [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA401 p. 401]; Grimal, [https://archive.org/details/dictionaryofclas0000grim/page/20/mode/2up?view=theater s.v. Aeolus]; Apollodorus, [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0548.tlg001.perseus-eng1:1.7.3 1.7.3]. For a comprehensive discussion of the descendants of Aeolus see Hard, [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA409 pp. 409–436], along with genealogical tables pp. 703–707; Gantz, pp. 167–183. The Hesiodic Catalogue also listed seven sons and five daughters, however only the names Cretheus, Athamas, Sisyphus, Salmoneus, Perieres, Pisidice, Alcyone, and Perimede are preserved.Gantz, pp. 167–169; Hesiod frr. 10, 12 Most (Most, pp. 52, 53, 58–61). Apollodorus's "Deion", "Calyce" and "Canace" would fit well into the missing gaps in the papyrus that preserves this part of the Catalogue, however, his "Magnes" conflicts with the Catalogues' use of that name elsewhere.Gantz, pp. 167, 182; Hesiod fr. 7 Most (Most, pp. 48, 49). Gantz, p 182, discusses the evidence for "Minyas" as the name of the seventh son. Hellanicus apparently also had Aeolus as the father of Salmoneus by Iphis.

Other sources give other children by other mothers. The tragic playwright Euripides made Melanippe a daughter of Aeolus and Hippe (or Hippo), daughter of the Centaur Cheiron.Hard 2004, pp. [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA409 409]–[https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA409 410]; Gantz, pp. 168, 734; Euripides, Melanippe Wise test. i, fr. 481 (Collard and Cropp, pp. 572, 573, 578, 579). According to the Roman mythographer Hyginus, the Macareus who had a tragic love affair with his sister Canace, was the son of "Aeolus son of Hellen".Hyginus, Fabulae [https://topostext.org/work/206#238 238], [https://topostext.org/work/206#242 242]. Euripides in his lost play Aeolus apparently made Macareus the youngest son of "Aeolus, who had mastery of the winds from the gods and lived on the islands off Etruria" (Euripides, Aeolus test. ii (Collard and Cropp, pp. 16, 17)); compare with Plutarch, Parallela minora [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:2008.01.0219:section=28 28], which says that Macareus was the youngest son of "Aeolus, king of the Etruscans", and Pausanias, [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0525.tlg001.perseus-eng1:10.38.4 10.38.4], which says that the Locrian city of Amphissa was said to have derived its name from "Amphissa, daughter of Macar, son of Aeolus". Xuthus, Aeolus' brother according to the Hesiodic Catalogue, and Apollodorus, was also said to be his son.Frazer's note 1 to Apollodorus [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0548.tlg001.perseus-eng1:1.7.3 1.7.3], citing Schol. on Hom.

Apart from being the progenitor of many important descendants, Aeolus himself was of little mythological note.Hard 2004, [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA409 p. 409], describes him as "little more than a cipher" and "an eponym and genealogical link rather than a hero of myth". And, in fact, Gantz, p. 167, describes all the early descendants of Deucalion and Pyrrha as "primarily eponymous ancestors or intermediate place-holders rather than actors in any real narratives." However he does play a role in one myth involving Hippe ('Mare'), the daughter of the Centaur Cheiron. Aeolus seduced Hippe, producing a daughter Melanippe, about whom the tragic playwright Euripides wrote two lost plays. The story, as it apparently appeared in Euripides' plays, is preserved in the astronomical literature of Eratosthenes and Hyginus. According to these sources, after becoming pregnant with Aeolus' child, Hippe fled into the mountains to escape the discovery of her pregnancy by her father Cheiron. When she was about to give birth and be discovered by her father, who had arrived in search of her, Hippe prayed to the gods to be made unrecognizable, and she was transformed into a horse and placed among the stars, becoming the constellation "the Horse" (modern Pegasus).Hard 2004, pp. [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA409 409]–[https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA410 410]; Hard 2015, pp. 49–52; Eratosthenes, 18; Hyginus, De astronomia [https://latin.packhum.org/loc/899/1/0#27 2.18.2.4–5].

The Romans Ovid, and Hyginus, tell of the tragic love affair between Aeolus' son Macareus and his daughter Canace.Euripides's lost tragedy Aeolus also told the story, see Collard and Cropp, pp.12–31; Gantz, p. 169. According to Hyginus, after the incest Macareus killed himself, and Aeolus killed Canace. While, according to Ovid, Aeolus threw out Canace's new born baby as "prey to dogs and hungry birds", and gave Canace a sword and commanded her to kill herself with it.Rose, s.v. Aeolus 2; Smith, [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0104%3Aentry%3Daeolus-bio-2 s.v.

Compare with Plutarch, Parallela minora [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:2008.01.0219:section=28 28].

This Aeolus was sometimes confused (or identified) with the Aeolus who is the keeper of the winds encountered by Odysseus in Homer's Odyssey.Hard 2004, [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA409 p. 409]; Gantz, pp. 167, 169; Grimal [https://archive.org/details/dictionaryofclas0000grim/page/20/mode/2up?view=theater s.v. Aeolus]; Tripp, s.vv. Aeolus 1, 2; Parada, s.v. Aeolus 1; The confusion perhaps first occurs in Euripides' lost tragedy Aeolus, where, although clearly based on the Odyssey's Aeolus, Euripides' Aeolus is, like Aeolus the son of Hellen, the father of a daughter Canace, and if the two are not identified, then they seem, at least, to be related.Gantz, p. 169; Euripides fr. 14 (Collard and Cropp, pp. 16, 17) [= Strabo [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0099.tlg001.perseus-eng1:8.3.32 8.3.32]]; Euripides [https://archive.org/details/tragicorumgraeco00naucuoft/page/366/mode/2up fr. 14 (Nauck, p. 366)] (not in Collard and Cropp). For a discussion of the play along with the surviving testimonies and fragments see Collar and Cropp, pp. 31. Although in the Odyssey, that Aeolus, was the son of Hippotes,Homer, Odyssey [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0136%3Abook%3D10%3Acard%3D1 10.1–12]. Hyginus, describes the Aeolus encountered by Odysseus as "Aeolus, son of Hellen, to whom control of the winds had been given by Jove [the Roman equivalent of Zeus]".Hyginus, Fabulae [https://topostext.org/work/206#125 125]. Ovid has Alcyone, as well as the tragic lovers Canace and Macareus, being children of an Aeolus who was the ruler of the winds, and calls Alcyone "Hippotades", ie. a descendant of Hippotes.Alcyone daughter of Aeolus: Ovid, Metamorphoses [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:latinLit:phi0959.phi006.perseus-eng1:11.410-11.591 11.415–416, 444–445, 457–458]; Alycone called "Hippotades": Ovid, Metamorphoses [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:latinLit:phi0959.phi006.perseus-eng1:11.410-11.591 11.431]; Alcyone's father Aeolus as ruler of the winds: Ovid, Metamorphoses [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:latinLit:phi0959.phi006.perseus-eng1:11.708-11.748 11.745–748]; Canace and Macareus' father Aeolus as ruler of the winds: Ovid, Epistles [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:latinLit:phi0959.phi002.perseus-eng1:11 11.13–15].
