No habiendo podido Boreas conseguir a Oritia de su padre, la roba y lleva a la Tracia

Description
-
Boreas, the personification of the North wind, had fallen madly in love with Orithyia, a princess of Athens. He had attempted to impress her, but she showed no interest in him. Violence and force felt more natural to Boreas, so he abducted her and took her to Thrace. Boreas is depicted with large wings, and he is surrounded by small, winged cherubs. Orithyia is depicted with her hands in the air as she tries to escape Boreas’ clutch. He flies away with her and they end up having four children together.
