"Αἴολος), Latinized as Æolus, Eolus, Æolos, Aeolus, or Aiolus, was the name of three personages in Greek Mythology. Aeolus is the god of the winds. These three personages are often difficult to tell apart, and even the ancient mythographers appear to have been perplexed about which Æolus was which. Diodorus made an attempt to define each of these three (although it is clear he also became muddled), and his opinion is followed here. Briefly, the first Æolus was a son of Hellen and founder of the Æolian race; the second was a son of Poseidon, who led a colony to the Tyrrhenian Sea; and the third Æolus was a son of Hippotes who is mentioned in the Odyssey as Keeper of the Winds in Greek Mythology. All three men named Æolus appear to be connected genealogically, although the precise relationship is often ambiguous. The traditions regarding the second and third Æolus are especially entangled."
Good luck!

Aeolus, name of two figures in Greek mythology. The best known was keeper of the winds. He lived on the floating island Aeolia with his six sons and six daughters. The god Zeus had given him the power to still and arouse the winds. When the Greek hero Odysseus visited Aeolus, he was welcomed as an honored guest. As a parting gift Aeolus gave him a favoring wind and a leather bag filled with all the winds. Odysseus's sailors, thinking the bag contained gold, opened it and were at once swept back to Aeolia. There Aeolus refused to help them again.
Another Aeolus in Greek mythology was the king of Thessaly. He was the son of Hellen, ancestor of the Hellenes, the ancient Greek peoples. Aeolus was himself the ancestor of the Aeolian Greeks.

Aeolus was the god of winds and one symbol associated with him is a bag containing all four winds. He would often give these bags as gifts. The symbol shows the winds coming out of the bag. Another symbol is a harp, or the Aeolian harp, which is a harp suspended in open air. Aeolus was said to play the harp beautifully with airy flying fingers.

Aeolus
by Dr Anthony E. Smith
Custodian of the four winds. A minor deity, he is the son of a king called Hippotes, and lived on one of the rocky Lipara islands, close to Sicily. In the caves on this island were imprisoned the winds, and Aeolos, directed by the higher gods, let out these winds as soft breezes, gales, or whatever the higher gods wished. Being visited by the Greek hero Odysseus, Aeolos received him favorably, and on the hero's departure presented Odysseus with a bag containing all the adverse winds, so that his friend might reach Ithaca with a fair wind. Odysseus did as Aeolos bid, but in sight of his homeland, having been untroubled by foul weather, he fell asleep and his men, curious, opened the bag, thus releasing all the fierce winds, which blew their ship far off course (Odyssey X, 2; Vigil I, 52).
Aeolus is also the name of the legendary ancestor of the Aeolians.

The root form of Aeolus was Aeloch. It was derived form
the Telugu word 'gaali' (wind) after reversing the
consonants. The English word 'gale' was also derived
from 'gaali'.
In English languate, 'etc' and 'ect', which is an
example of reversing the consonants, have the same
meaning.
Andhras of India have interacted with ancient
Europeans.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeneas
The English word 'love' and the Greek word 'philo'
originated from the Telugu word 'olapu' (love).
The English word 'arid' and Latin 'aridus' originated from
Telugu word 'edauri' (arid, desert).
Interaction of words in the names of gods:
(1) The god of love in Telugu literature
is called Kaamudu, the word is cognate
with Cupid.
(2) In some old European drawings, the
Cupid is shown wearing blind-folds.
Gamta, a word which is cognate with
Cupid, means 'blind-folds' in Telugu.
(3) Cupid is shown shooting arrows in to
hearts of persons to generate love. The
ancient texts of India say that heart is
the seat of love. Gumde, a word which is
cognate with Cupid, means 'heart' in
Telugu.
(4) Cupid is described as a small child.
Gumta, a word which is cognate with
Cupid, means 'a small child' in Telugu.
The above words are used in Telugu for
more than 1000 years.

I don't know if there is an ancient symbol for him
but by the 1600's He appeared on maps as a face in a cloud
with his cheeks puffed up, lips pursed as blowing out wind.
