Tinos, the island of Aeolus

From Mythology, the verbal tradition of Hellenic History, we learn that Tinos has been incessantly inhabited since the prehistoric times, in the Proto-Cycladic Period (3000-2300 BC). Tinos was the king of the Ionians who chose to migrate from Asia Minor to the island of Aeolos. On the windswept island of Tinos, Aeolus was worshipped for what he offered: open sails, and a clean, healthy atmosphere.
