“For the Romans, Eurus was identified with the god Vulturnus ("he from Vultur", a mountain in Apulia, perhaps related to the world "vulture"), closely associated with dry and warm weather. He was also called Africanus (meaning "he from Africa") occasionally, due to the dry type of east wind the ancients knew.”

“Zephyrus, like the rest of the wind gods Anemoi (Boreas, Eurus and Notus), was said to be the son of Eos, goddess of the dawn, by her husband and first cousin Astraeus, a minor god related to the stars.”
