Snatched up by the Northern Wind

Boreas

Βορέας, Boréas; also Βορρᾶς

is the Greek god of the cold north wind and the bringer of winter.

Boreas was said to have kidnapped Orithyia, an Athenian princess, from Ilisos.

Boreas had initially pleaded for her favours, hoping to persuade her to follow him.

When this failed, he reverted to his usual temper and abducted her as she danced on the banks of the Ilisos.

Boreas wrapped Orithyia up in a cloud, married her, and with her, Boreas fathered two sons—the Boreads, Zethes and Calais—and two daughters—Chione, goddess of snow, and Cleopatra.
