Greek God Starting with W: Zephyr, God of the West Wind
There is no major Greek god whose name starts with W in English—the Greek alphabet has no "W" (digamma Ϝ fell out of use). The closest is:
Zephyr (Ζέφυρος)
- Domain: God of the west wind; harbinger of spring.
- Parents: Astraeus (dusk) & Eos (dawn) — or sometimes Aeolus (wind keeper).
- Consorts: Chloris (Flora, goddess of flowers), Iris (rainbow), Podarge (harpy, mother of Achilles' horses).
- Myths: Loved Hyacinthus (killed by discus jealousy); abducted Chloris; fathered Balius & Xanthus (immortal horses).
- Roman Equivalent: Favonius.
Other Wind Gods (Anemoi)
- Boreas — North wind (winter).
- Notus — South wind (summer storms).
- Eurus — East wind (autumn).
Zephyr is the gentlest, most benevolent—associated with renewal, fertility, and safe voyages.
