Aeoliae Insŭlae
A group of islands northeast of Sicily, where Aeolus, the god of the winds, reigned. These
islands were also called Hephaestiades or Vulcaniae, because Hephaestus or Vulcan was believed
to have his workshop in one of them called Hiera. They were also named Liparenses, from
Lipara, the largest of them.
