Bangputys (Lithuanian Mythology)

Bangpūtys is a name of a masculine deity in Lithuanian mythology. Basing on very scanty sources, some mythologists have reconstructed it as god of sea and storm. According to the reconstructions, he is austere, unrelenting. He has beard, wings and two faces. He has fish in left hand, utensil in right hand and rooster on the head. His sons are gods of wind: Rytys, Pietys, iaurys and Vakaris (easterly, souther, norther and westerly). Bangpūtys is very vindictive god. Once Autaras (son of Aurinė and Mėnulis, other god of easterly wind) was swimming in the sea and made a storm. Bangpūtys wanted to drown him. Sometimes Bangpūtys is associating with Vėjopatis.
