Bangpūtys, the god of waves and storms, who sails over the wild sea in a boat which has a golden anchor, in Lithuanian folklore...

 

According to the reconstructions, he is austere, unrelenting.

 

He has beard, wings and two faces. He has fish in left hand, utensil in right hand and rooster on the head.

 

His sons are gods of wind: Rytys, Pietys, Šiaurys and Vakaris (easterly, souther, norther and westerly).

 

Bangpūtys is very vindictive god. Once Auštaras (son of Aušrinė and Mėnulis, other god of easterly wind) was swimming in the sea and made a storm. Bangpūtys did not like and thus wanted to drown him.
