In Greek mythology, Aello (Ἀελλώ) was one of Hippolyte's Amazons. She was the first to attack Heracles when he came for Hippolyte's girdle. Unfortunately, Heracles was wearing the Nemean Lion skin from his first labor, making him invulnerable. Aello could not kill Heracles; thus, she was killed instead. Her name meant, "Whirlwind".
Harpy
Also in Greek mythology, Aello was the name of one of the Harpy sisters who would abduct people and torture them on their way to Tartarus. In this form, her name meant, "Storm Swift".
