Aello
Aellō means "storm" or "storm-swift" in ancient Greek)
Aello (/eɪˈɛloʊ/; Ancient Greek: Ἀελλώ,
In Greek mythology she was one of the Harpy sisters who would abduct people and torture them on their way to Tartarus.[1][2] She is also referred to as:
- Aellopus (/eɪˈɛləpəs/; Ἀελλόπους, Aellopous, "whirlwind-footed")[3][4]
- Aellope (/eɪəˈloʊpiː/; Αελλώπη, Aellōpē)
- Podarge (/poʊˈdɑːrdʒiː/; Ποδάργη, Podargē, "she who is foot-speedy")[5]
- Podarce (/poʊˈdɑːrsiː/; Ποδάρκη, Podarkē, "she who is foot-safe"?)[6]
- Nicothoë (/nɪˈkɒθoʊiː/; Νικοθόη, Nikothoē, "she who is victory-speedy")[3]
It is claimed she is the mother of Achilles's immortal steeds Balius (Balios) and Xanthus (Xanthos) by Zephyrus, but some sources claim it was really her sister Celaeno.
She is sometimes confused with Aella the Amazon.

gollark: I don't self-host my email, since I worry about breaking everything, and need that a lot, but everything else just runs off servers at home.
gollark: Realistically you are unlikely to get more than a few thousand hits a day, which a Pi could do *easily*.
gollark: I think most personal sites could.
gollark: My website could totally run off a Pi.
gollark: Well, to be fair to it, less considering that it ships with stuff a Pi doesn't.
