In classical mythology, Boreas was the Greek god of the north wind, depicted as a bearded, violent figure.
From Ancient Greek 'Βορέας' (Boreas), possibly from 'borea' meaning 'cold' or north, though the etymology is uncertain and may relate to whirling or roaring sounds.
Boreas was scary even by god standards—ancient Greeks depicted him kidnapping a princess and treating winds like weapons, and they believed his breath could freeze enemies solid, making him more feared than respected.
