Áurai

This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Aúra (Αὔρα) Áurai (Αύραι),” meaning “atmosphere, lighting, breeze.” In Greek and Roman mythology, Aura is a minor deity, whose name means “breeze.” Aura was the daughter of the Titan Lelantos and the mother, by Dionysus, of Iacchus, a minor deity connected with the Eleusinian mysteries. At the same time, Quintus Smyrnaeus makes the Aurae daughters of Boreas, the North-wind. The Aurai (Aurae) were nymphs of the breezes. They were daughters of either the earth-encircling river Okeanos (Oceanus) or the north-wind Boreas. In the story of Kephalos (Cephalus), the dawn-goddess Eos was portrayed as a singular Aura. Similarly, the Titan-goddess Aura was a single personification of the breeze.
