In ancient Greek mythology, the personification of the east wind, depicted as a bearded god or one of the Anemoi (wind gods).
From Greek 'euros' (east wind); the word represents the deification of directional winds, a common feature of ancient Mediterranean mythologies.
Eurus appears on the Tower of the Winds in ancient Athens—an octagonal building with a carving of each wind god—revealing that the Greeks took their winds so seriously they built a monumental calendar around them, treating meteorology as divine science.
