Elpis (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Elpis () is the minor goddess (daimon) of hope, about which the Greeks had ambivalent feelings. She was never the centre of a cult, as was Spes, her Roman equivalent, and was chiefly the subject of ambiguous Greek aetiological myths. Hesiod's ''Works and Days'' Elpis was the remaining item enclosed in Pandora's box (or jar), the best known form of the myth found in Hesiod’s ''Works and Days''. There Hesiod expands upon the misery inflicted on mankind through the curiosity of Pandora. She had brought with her as a wedding gift from heaven a storage jar but when this was opened it released a host of human ills before the lid could be secured again. Only Hope was left within her unbreakable house, she remained under the lip of the jar and did not fly away. Before he could Pandora replaced the lid of the jar.

Storm Elpis
Elpis, or Elpida in Greece, was a windstorm and blizzard that affected most of the Eastern Mediterranean in late January 2022. The storm caused blizzard conditions in northern Turkey and mountainous areas of Greece, as well as accumulating snowfall in milder locations further south, such as Athens, Antalya and Israel. Meteorological history Antecedent weather Atmospheric conditions in the weeks leading up to Elpis were defined by a change of large-scale weather patterns: a persistent ridge formed over Western Europe and a series of dips in the jet stream occurred to its east. This, in turn, caused repeated instances of polar air outbreaks into the Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean. Diomedes, an earlier and relatively minor storm, had already brought heavy rain and mountain snow to Greece, while causing significant sea-level snowfall in the normally colder region of northern Turkey. A weak low formed near Aegean Sea on 21 January, partially due to the southeastward moveme ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
