blandus g.e. favonius (WNW) – Chorus occidentalis (NW) – Circius choralis (NNW) – Circius aquilonaris But Paris did not go beyond jotting these names down on a corner of the manuscript. In a note in his 1558 atlas, the Portuguese cartographer Diogo Homem made one final attempt to reconcile the classical twelve with the mariner's eight by assigning 8 of the 12 to the principal winds of the compass, and the remaining four to the half-winds NNW, NNE, SSE and SSW. In Homem's assignment: Septentrio = Tramontana (N) Aquilo or Boreas = Greco-Tramontana (NNE) Caecias or Hellespontus = Greco (NE) Subsolanus or Eurus = Levante (E) Vulturnus = Scirocco (SE) Euronotus = Ostro-Scirocco (SSE) Auster or Notus = Ostro (S) Libonotus = Ostro-Libeccio (SSW) Africus or Lips = Libeccio (SW) Favonius or Zephyrus = Ponente (W) Corus or Caurus = Maestro (NW) Circius = Maestro-Tramontana (NNW) Comparative table of classical winds The following table summarizes the chronological evolution of the names of the winds in classical antiquity. Changes in name or position from the prior listing are highlighted in bold. We omit Vitruvius's 24-wind list because it is too idiosyncratic (and does not fit the table). {| class="wikitable" |- !
