Excerpt from Wind and Weather
The sun is not an accurate time keeper and no one to-day runs his business or keeps engagements on sun time. But the Old Athenians were quite content to do so; and their Tower served excellently for their needs. And they did what we moderns fail to do, namely, give dis tinctive names to the winds. They represented figuratively the character istics of the Weather as the wind blew from each of the eight cardinal direc tions.
