WEST WIND


Zephyrus, the Greek god of the west wind and the goddess Chloris, from a 1875 engraving by William-Adolphe Bouguereau

A 'west wind' is a wind that originates in the west and blows east. In Greek mythology, Zephyrus was the west wind and bringer of light spring and early summer breezes; in the myth of Cupid and Psyche, he was the attendant of Cupid, who brought Psyche to his master's palace.
A soft, gentle breeze may be referred to as a Zephyr in literature. This sense dates from the late 17th century.
