Etesia - Etejia (English spelling) etesians

A northerly prevailing wind that blows in the eastern Mediterranean, especially in the Aegean Sea, during the summer. It is a type of seasonal wind similar to the monsoon. In the Adriatic, this wind is called the maestro. The ancient Greeks believed that this wind continued to blow for about 40 days after Sirius, the alpha star of the constellation Canis Major, rose in the eastern sky at dawn before the sun.

地中海東部、とくにエーゲ海に夏の間吹く北寄りの卓越風。これはモンスーンmonsoonなどと同類の季節風の一種である。アドリア海ではこの風をマエストロmaestroとよんでいる。古代ギリシアでは昔、おおいぬ座のα(アルファ)星シリウスが太陽に先だって明け方東天に昇ってから、およそ40日間この風が吹き続くものと考えていた。
