Apeliotes [31] (or Apheliotes; the name means 'from the (rising) sun') is the Greek deity of the southeast wind.[32] As this wind was thought to cause a refreshing rain particularly beneficial to farmers, he is often depicted wearing high boots and carrying fruit, draped in a light cloth concealing some flowers or grain. He is clean-shaven, with curly hair and a friendly expression. Because Apeliotes is a minor god, he was often syncretized with Eurus, the east wind.[citation needed] The Roman counterpart of Apeliotes is Subsolanus.[33]
Apeliotes
A wind of prosperity,
A tender touch of warmth
That comes around after the rain
And carries golden seeds
Of grain.
Apeliotes
