General information[]
Boreas (bɔːri.əs, bɒri.əs, bɒri.æs, Βορέας, Boréas; also Βορρᾶς, Βορρᾶς) is the Greek god of the cold north wind WP, storms, and winter.  k;Although he was normally taken as the north wind, the Roman writers Aulus Gellius WP and Pliny the Elder WP both took Boreas as a northeast wind, equivalent to the Roman god Aquilo or Septentrio. Boreas is depicted as being very strong, with a violent temper to match. He was frequently shown as a winged old man or sometimes as a young man with shaggy hair and beard, holding a conch WP shell and wearing a billowing cloak. Boreas's most known myth is his abduction of the Athenian princess Oreithyia WP.

Description[]
Boreas, like the rest of the wind gods, was said to be the son of Eos, the goddess of the dawn, by her husband Astraeus, a minor star-god. He is thus brother to the rest of the Anemoi WP (the wind gods), the five star-gods and the justice goddess Astraea.
Boreas was closely associated with horses, storms, and winter. He was said to have fathered twelve colts, after taking the form of a stallion, to the mares of Erichthonius WP, king of Dardania WP. These were said to be able to run across a field of grain without trampling the plants. The Greeks believed that his home was in Thrace WP.
He is said to have fathered three giant Hyperborean priests of Apollo by Chione. Pausanias WP wrote that Boreas had snakes WP instead of feet, though in art he was usually depicted with winged human feet. In ancient art, he is usually depicted as a bearded older man.

Anemoi[]
In ancient Greek religion WP and myth WP, the Anemoi Def (Greek: Ἄνεμοι, "Winds") were wind gods who were each ascribed a cardinal direction WP from which their respective winds came (see Classical compass winds WP), and were each associated with various nature WP, seasons WP and weather WP conditions. They were the progeny of the goddess of the dawn WP Eos and her husband, the god of the dusk, Astraeus. They were sometimes represented as gusts of wind WP, and at other times were personified as winged WP men. They were also sometimes depicted as horses WP kept in the stables of the storm god Aeolus, who provided Odysseus WP with the Anemoi in the Odyssey WP. The Spartans WP were reported to sacrifice a horse to the winds on Mount Taygetus WP. Astraeus, the astrological deity (sometimes associated with Aeolus), and Eos/Aurora, the goddess of the dawn WP, were the parents of the Anemoi, according to the Greek WP poet Hesiod WP.
Of the four chief Anemoi, Boreas (Aquilo in Roman mythology WP) is the north wind and bringer of cold winter air, Zephyrus (Favonius in Latin WP) is the west wind and bringer of light spring and early-summer breezes, and Notus (Auster in Latin WP) is the south wind and bringer of the storms of late summer and autumn; Eurus, the southeast (or according to some, the east) wind, was not associated with any of the three Greek seasons WP, and is the only one of these four Anemoi not mentioned in Hesiod's Theogony WP or in the Orphic Hymns WP.
The deities equivalent to the Anemoi in Roman mythology were the Venti Def (Latin WP: "winds"). These gods had different names, but were otherwise very similar to their Greek counterparts, borrowing their attributes and being frequently conflated with them. Ptolemy's world map listed 12 winds: Septentrio (N), Aquilo (NNE), Vulturnus (NE), Subsolanus (E), Eurus (SE), Euroauster (SSE), Austeronotus (S), Euronotus (SSW), Africus (SW), Zephirus (W), Eurus (NW), Circius (NNW).
- Boreas (Aquilo)
- See also: Boreas
- Boreas is the god of the north wind and the harshest of the Anemoi. He is mostly known for his abduction of the Athenian princess Orithyia WP, by whom he became the father of the Boreads WP. In art, he is usually depicted as a bearded, older man. His Roman equivalent is called Aquilo.
- Zephyrus (Favonius)
- See also: Zephyrus
- Zephyrus (Ζέφυρος, Zéphyros), sometimes shortened in English to Zephyr, is the Greek god of the west wind WP. The gentlest of the winds, Zephyrus is known as the fructifying wind, the messenger of spring.
- Zephyrus was reported as having several wives in different stories. He was said to be the husband of Iris, goddess of the rainbow. He abducted the goddess Chloris, and gave her the domain of flowers. With Chloris, he fathered Karpos ('fruit').
- Zephyrus was also claimed to have killed one of Apollo's many male lovers Hyacinth out of jealousy. Hyacinth was killed by a discus thrown by Apollo. Though according to some sources, his death was said to be an accident, others said that Zephyrus was the true culprit, having blown the discus off course.
- Notus (Auster)
- Notus (Νότος, Nótos) was the Greek god of the south wind WP. He was associated with the desiccating hot wind of the rise of Sirius after midsummer WP, was thought to bring the storms of late summer and early autumn, and was feared as a destroyer of crops.
- Notus' equivalent in Roman mythology was Auster, the embodiment of the sirocco WP wind, a southerly wind which brings cloudy weather, powerful winds and rain to southern Europe.
- The name Australia WP (the "southern land") is derived from Auster.
- Eurus (Vulturnus)
- See also: Eurus
- Eurus (Εὖρος, Euros) according to some was the southeast wind, but according to others the east wind. On the Tower of the Winds WP in Athens, Eurus occupies the southeast side, while Apeliotes is in the east. However, it is widely accepted that Eurus is the east wind, while Apeliotes is the southeast wind.
- Eurus' Roman counterpart is Vulturnus, according to Pliny the Elder WP; but for Aulus Gellius WP Volturnus was the equivalent of the southeast wind Euronotus.
- Eurus is closely related to Helios in passages of the Dionysiaca, being called from his place near Helios' palace, Phaethon, where the sun rose in the east.
