Boreas 1 abducting Orithyia 2
|
|
|
|
Boreas 1, the North wind, once fell in love with some mares that grazed in the fields of Attica and, transforming himself into a dark-maned stallion, covered them and twelve stallions were born. On another occasion, when Orithyia 2, daughter of King Erechtheus of Athens, was playing by the river Ilissus she was carried off by Boreas 1, and because of this tie between Boreas 1 and the Athenians he helped them by destroying enemy ships many years later. Boreas 1 had courted Orythia 2 a long time, and had begged the king to give her to him, but as words proved to be in vain she took her by force. Some say that Boreas 1 has serpents' tails instead of feet. Boreas 1 lives in Scythia and the extreme north, according to some, but others say he lives in Thrace (Apd.3.15.2ff.; Cal.Del.292; Dio.5.50.1; Hes.The.378; Hyg.Fab.14; Nonn.6.33ff., 37.157; Ov.Met.1.64; Pin.Pyth.4.182; QS.1.168).
