The Son of Hippotes

  • The third Aeolus
  • Son of Mimas (the son of the first Aeolus)
  • Aeolus lived on the floating island of Aeolia and was visited by Odysseus and his men in the Odyssey
  • He gave them a bag containing the four winds to ensure smooth sailing
  • Odysseus's crew members greedily opened it and they were blown back to Aeolia where Aeolus refuses to further help them
