ÆOLIAE INSULÆ, now Isoli Lipari, in Ancient Geography, seven islands, situated between Sicily and Italy, so called from Æolus, who reigned there about the time of the Trojan war. The Greeks call them Hephæstiades; and the Romans Vulcaniæ, from their fiery eruptions. They are also called Liparæorum Insulæ, from their principal island Lipara. Dionysius Periegetes calls them Παλινα, because circumnavigable.
