In [[Greek mythology]] and [[Ancient Greek religion|religion]], '''Eurus''' ({{langx|grc|Εὖρος|Euros|east wind}}) is the god and personification of the east wind, although sometimes he is also said to be southeast specifically.{{sfn|Grimal|1987|loc=s.v. [https://archive.org/details/dictionaryofclas00grim/page/157/mode/2up?view=theater Eurus]}} He is one of the four principal wind gods, the [[Anemoi]], alongside [[Boreas (god)|Boreas]] (north wind), [[Zephyrus]] (west wind) and [[Notus]] (south wind). Eurus is featured rarely in ancient literature and art, appearing together with his three brothers as part of a whole if at all, and virtually has no individual mythology of his own. Often he is excluded from the group entirely, leaving Boreas, Zephyrus and Notus to represent the Anemoi. His Roman equivalent is the god '''Vulturnus'''.
