aurae
In Greek and Roman mythology, Aura (Greek: Αὔρα, translit. Aúra, lit. "breeze" pronounced [ǎu̯raː], or Αὔρη pronounced [ǎu̯rɛː]) is a minor deity, whose name means "breeze". The plural form, Aurae (Greek: Αὔραι) is sometimes found. According to Nonnus, Aura was the daughter of the Titan Lelantos and the mother, by Dionysus, of Iacchus, a minor deity connected with the Eleusinian mysteries, while Quintus Smyrnaeus makes the Aurae daughters of Boreas, the North-wind. Aurae was the title of a play by the Athenian comic poet Metagenes, who was contemporary with Aristophanes, Phrynichus, and Plato.
