Aello in Greek mythology was one of the Harpy sisters who would abduct people and torture them on their way to Tartarus. Her names are:

  • Aello (Ἀελλώ), "she of the whirlwind"
  • Aellopos (Ἀελλόπος), "whirlwind-footed"
  • Podarge (Ποδάργη), "she who is foot-speedy"
  • Podarke (Ποδάρκη), "she who is foot-safe"?
  • Nikothoe (Νικοθόη), "she who is victory-speedy"

In addition, Aeolus was the ruler of the winds in Greek mythology.

She is sometimes confused with Aella the Amazon.
