Boreas God of the Winter Wind Boreas  is the Greek god of the cold north wind and the bringer of winter, the continental polar air mass Although he was normally taken as the north wind, the Roman writers Aulus Gellius and Pliny the Elder both took Boreas as a northeast wind, equivalent to the Roman Aquilo,[9] similar to Nor'easter winter storms. Boreas is depicted as being very strong, with a violent temper to match. He was frequently shown as a winged old man with shaggy hair and beard, holding a conch shell and wearing a billowing cloak.[3] Pausanias wrote that Boreas had snakes instead of feet, though in art he was usually depicted with winged human feet. #boreas #anemoi #winterwind #nort...

@Lillian Have you ever read the book Spinning Silver? It's such a good book!!! This art you made reminds me of the book by Naomi Novik.
