In order to secure (-5[1])these phenomena at (-5[1])Aulis, Iphigenia (“IH-phih-jen-EE-uh”) was sacrificed (10[1])by Agamemnon (10[1])(“ag-uh-MEM-nahn”). Notus and Eurus (“YOU-rus”) ruled (10[1])over these phenomena, a bag of which (10[1])was given to Odysseus. (10[1])The Argonauts Zetes (“ZEE-tees”) and Calaïs (“kah-LAY-iss”) were the sons of a god (10[1])of these phenomena, Boreas (“BOH-ree-us”).
