(a.k.a. Aquilo)

Greek god of the North Wind and son of Astraeus and Eos. Boreas lived in the extreme north of either Thrace or Scythia and was considered the most violent of all the winds. When the princess Orithyia resisted his advances, Boreas wrapped her up in a cloud near the river Ilissus and carried her off to his home. Orithyia then bore him two winged sons Zetes and Calais and two daughters Chione and Cleopatra. In the Pelasgian creation myth, the serpent Ophion arose from his union with Eurynome. He also fathered Butes, Hecaerge, Loxo, Lycurgus, and Opis by unknown mates. Boreas is associated with horses and fathered twelve foals on the mare belonging to Danauus. He was later a patron of the Athenians and received their sacrifices during the Persian Wars.
