Note 1170 — Chapter V · THE MAGICAL CONTROL OF THE WEATHER (continued 2)
Reading edition
Homer, Odyssey, x. 19 sqq. It is said that Perdoytus, the Lithuanian Aeolus, keeps the winds enclosed in a leathern bag; when they escape from it he pursues them, beats them, and shuts them up again. See E. Veckenstedt, Die Mythen, Sagen und Legenden der Zamaiten (Litauer), i. 153. The statements of this writer, however, are to be received with caution.
