The Roman wind god Favonius — equated with the Greek Zephyrus — was so deeply enamored with Flora, Goddess of Flowers, that he transformed himself into a rose to win her affection, as flowers were her only passion. When Flora kissed the rose, she fulfilled Favonius’ wish, and legend says that even the very word rose was born from this tale: when struck by Cupid’s arrow, Flora mispronounced “Eros” as “ros.” Thus, the rose became forever intertwined with Eros, symbolizing love, youth, beauty, vitality, and the fruitfulness of nature in both Roman and Greek tradition.
Favonius, whose name means favorable, was known as the gentlest of the winds — the fructifying breath of spring, guardian of flowers, and herald of renewal. The Roman poet Horace immortalized him as the messenger who restores lovers at the turning of the season: “Why do you weep, Asterie, for the man whom the bright west winds will restore to you at the beginning of spring?”
