The King of the Winds was Aeolus. He was either the son of Poseidon or Hippotes. He guarded the winds, keeping them in a cave with just a tiny hole, which he blocked with a plug. Whenever a wind was needed, he edged the plug away just a little, and the wind would come out. He also helped Odysseus on his journey home, giving him a bag with just a little bit of the winds, but Odysseus's crew opened it, and Aeolus said he would not help someone so cursed by the gods.
