Zephyrus vs. Karpos — What's the Difference?

A god personifying the gentle west wind.

In Greek mythology, Karpos (; Ancient Greek: Καρπός : Karpós; Latin: Carpus, literally "fruit"), was a youth renowned for his beauty. He is the son of Zephyrus (Ζέφυρος : Zéphyros), the west wind) and Chloris (Χλωρίς : Chlōrís, spring, or new vegetation), forming a natural metaphor—the west wind heralds the new growth of spring, which then bears fruit.

The west wind, or zephyr; - usually personified, and made the most mild and gentle of all the sylvan deities.
