Eurus (Tower of the Winds, Athens)
Unknown (Tower of the Winds workshop), c. 50 BC
Southeast face of the Horologion of Andronikos in the Roman Agora: the relief of Eurus (Euros), the east-southeast wind, cloaked and bringing rain. The eight Anemoi of the Tower of the Winds remain the east wind's most famous ancient image in stone.
Eurus
Unknown (wood engraving after Petiscus), 1878
Wood engraving from August Heinrich Petiscus' Der Olymp (Leipzig, 1878): Eurus as the personified east wind of autumn — cloak, seasonal attributes, and the classical schoolbook image of the Anemos who brings changeable weather from the sunrise.
Eurus (Virginia Museum of Fine Arts)
Unknown, Roman period
Relief image of Eurus in the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (Richmond 51.13): the east wind as a winged or cloaked Anemos, one of the four cardinal winds who also stand for the seasons in later allegory.
