Apeliotes was the God of the south east winds in Greek mythology. Apeliotes is often depicted wearing gumboots with curly hair, a friendly expression, carrying fruit and draped in a light cloth concealing some flowers or grain since this wind caused a refreshing rain particularly beneficial to farmers. Apeliotes, along with the other gods of the deities, is the son of Astraeus(God of the night sky) and Eos(Goddess of the morning). Apeliotes can be seen on the Tower of the Winds in Athens. 4, record 1, English, - Apheliotes
