CW: This is the Aristaios of late spring. Fave to open a flower in a bee's path, boost to lead a dairy animal to succulent grass.
Aristaios (Latin: Aristaeus) was the god of rustic crafts such as cheese-making and bee-keeping, a culture hero who discovered the tricks of those arts and passed them on to humans. His main myth provides an explanation for midsummer winds.
