E2 DICTIONARY OF CLASSICAL MYTHOLOGY: Aura
Greek goddess of the morning breeze. Aura was a vengeful goddess, as
Cephalos would attest:
Cephalos was a consort to Eos, aka Aurora. Aura made advances on him, which he refused, being faithful to his wife, Procris. Aura was angered, and caused him to accidentally kill his wife. During one meeting between Aura and Cephalos, Procris was driven to hide in a bush to listen. However, Cephalos heard the bushes rustle, thought it was a wild animal, threw his spear and killed his wife.
