EUROCLYDON (from Eûpos, the south-east wind, and κλύδων, a wave), the name of a tempestuous wind which drove on shore at Melita (Malta) the ship in which St Paul was sailing to Italy (Acts xxvii.) It is supposed to be the wind commonly known among modern mariners by the name of a Leranter, which is not confined to any single point, but blows in all directions, from the N.E. round by the north to the S.E.
