Aeolus (son of Hellen)

In Greek mythology, Aeolus or Aiolos^[1] (/ˈiːələs/; Ancient Greek: Αἴολος [ǎi̯.o.los], Greek: [ˈe.o.los] ^ⓘ) was the son of Hellen, the ruler of Aeolia (later called Thessaly), and the eponym of the Aeolians, one of the four main tribes of the Greeks. According to the mythographer Apollodorus, Aeolus was the father of seven sons: Cretheus, Sisyphus, Athamas, Salmoneus, Deion, Magnes, Perieres, and five daughters: Canace, Alcyone, Pisidice, Calyce, and Perimede. He was said to have killed his daughter Canace (or forced her to kill herself) because she had committed incest with her brother Macareus. This Aeolus was sometimes confused with the Aeolus who was the ruler of the winds.^[2]

^ According to Kerényi, p. 206, the name means both "the mobile" and "the many coloured", while Rose, s.v. Aeolus 1 associates the name, "perhaps by derivation", with "the changeable".
