Aeouls,s family tree
Aeolus's actual mates and offspring are also heavily debated.
1.His marriage to Enarete resulted in multiple progeny, of
which four: Salmoneus, Cretheus, Athamas and Sisphus are
the most prominent. These 4 sons of Aeolus are regarded as
the four main founders of the Aeolian race and hence a part
of the Greek race itself.
2.According to Homer, Aeolus had 6 sons and 6 daughters,
who were married to each other.
3.yet another myth specifies that 4 of Aeolus's sons become
the 4 gods or types of wind, mainly the South wind, the
North wind, the West wind and the East wind.
