Aeolos was residing peacefully with his wife, his six daughters and his six sons in a magnificient palace in Aetolia, nowadays known as "Stromboli" in Italy. He was a calm wind and many times used his authority and powers to close the winds inside a cave in order to bring peace on earth.
Still, the name Aeolos" is a widely used name in Greece. Widely used, for instance, is the expression "the bags of Aeolos were opened" for actions with consequences.
