Ariel and Prospero in Shakespeare's The Tempest

The sylphs, air spirits[1] or elementary beings of the air weave and work in the airy-warm, interspersed with light, in the movements of the clouds and the wind, from the finest breeze to the mighty storm. They also include various elves and the gigantic storm spirits. Their best-known representatives in poetry are the air spirit Ariel, who appears in Shakespeare's The Tempest and also appears in Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust, as well as the elf king Oberon and the elf queen Titania from A Midsummer Night's Dream.
