Tower of winds
Bildnummer 12987342
| The Horologion of Andronikos, also known as The Tower of the Winds, called today by Greeks, The Aerides, 'The Winds', is set within the Roman Agora, Athens. Constructed from Marble in the 2nd century BC by the Syrian astronomer Andronikos Kyrrestes, it was built as a combined weather vane and water clock. In all there are 8 friezes personifying the eight winds. The tower stands 12m high and has a diameter of 8m. The facing wind here is Euros, who was associated with the season of autumn and dwelt near the palace of the sun-god Helios in the far east. Boreas is perhaps the best know of the winds, the ancient Greek personification of the cold north wind and he is shown here blowing through a large conch shell. The remaining winds depicted on the other panels are: Skiron, Zephyros, Lips, Notos, Euros, Apeliotes, Kaikias. | |
