yeess...that´s pretty much it, but I can repeat the question for those who so wish (everyone else close your eyes). What is a zephyr? There, I said it. I really would appriciate some answers (one is more than enough, if correct). Or then maybe I should go get a dictonary instead? Näähh..it´s probably easier this way...

A zephyr is a - somewhat poetical - synonym for a small breeze. "Zephyrus" (stressed on either the 1st or the 2nd syllable, I don't know) was, afaik, the name of some minor deity or something in Greek mythology.

Thank you very much. Now I finally understand (hmm - do I really?) what "The Zephyr Song" (RHCP) is all about. And by the way...has anyone ever seen such on missplaced topic as this one, anyway? Posts: 756 | Registered: Monday, August 4 2003 07:00 |

Who knows? What I want to know is what in the hell the Chili Peppers were smoking when they wrote that song. Posts: 1918 | Registered: Sunday, October 13 2002 07:00 |

i was under the impression that Zephyr was the name for the 'west wind' in greek mythology. Posts: 43 | Registered: Wednesday, October 16 2002 07:00 |
