Zephyrus

Zephyrus is the Greek god and personification of the gentle west wind and spring. He mainly serves Eros. His Roman counterpart is Favonius.
== History ==
=== Early life ===
Zephyrus was born to the Titans Astraeus and Eos. In the times of Ancient Greece, Zephyrus lived with his brother Boreas.
The two dwelt with each other in the Thracian mountains.
=== Marriages ===
Like many gods, Zephyrus had a share of romantic escapades despite his marriage to Khloris (a nymph of the Isles of the Blest) and later the goddess Iris.
Zephyrus gave his first wife the dominion over flowers. They had a son named Karpos. With Iris, Zephyrus had a son named Pothos, who served as an attendant to Aphrodite.
=== Becoming attendant of Eros ===
At some point, Zephyrus fell in love with a mortal man named Hyacinthus, who he found "quite extraordinary." After finding Hyacinthus with Apollo playing a game of quoits, Zephyrus accidentally killed Hyacinthus in a jealous rage. As the mortal died, Apollo transformed him into a flower, a hyacinth.
Fearing his safety, Zephyrus escaped. Aphrodite's immortal son, Eros, offered him his mother's protection, on the condition that he would work with him forever.
