| | The Religion of the Ancient Celts: Chapter III. The Gods of Gaul and the Continental Celts |
| | The identifications of the temple with Stonehenge and of the Boreads with the Bards are quite hypothetical. | | | The kings of the city where the temple stood, and its overseers, were called "Boreads," and every nineteenth year the god appeared dancing in the sky at the spring equinox. | | | Apollonius says that the Celts regarded the waters of Eridanus as due to the tears of Apollo--probably a native myth attributing the creation of springs and rivers to the tears of a god, equated by the Greeks with Apollo. |

| | It may be an influence held over from the Orientalising period, when winged Near Eastern gods and goddesses were copied and synthesised with Greek deities, particularly the ‘Master/Mistress of the Animals’ that often appears on Orientalising pottery. | | | The running winged daimones of Corinthian and Laconian ware may have had a similar origin, and there is some discussion on how we should interpret these creatures: are they representative of Wind-gods, or are they Boreads (the sons of Boreas and Oreithuia), or are they nature spirits of another kind (96)? | | | Aside from this undeniable influence, wings suggest speed and strength, both natural states for a Wind-god. |

| | Boreads (winged sons of Boreas, god of the North Wind) and Harpies ("snatchers" - birds with women,s faces who snatched up things and people) appeared fairly often in archaic art. | | | They are associated in the Argonaut story, where the boreads, who were members of the Argonaut expedition, chased away the harpies who were stealing the food of the blind king Phineus. | | | If the smaller figure on this vase is meant to be one of the regular Harpies it should be female, and it is odd that the face is bearded. |

| | Taming the Winds |
| | Zephyrus, god of the West Wind, is known in the artistic record of antiquity mainly on account of his romantic attachments, which are somewhat more numerous than those of his brother Boreas; his lovers include the Spartan youth Hyacinthus, the goddess of the Rainbow, Iris, and the goddess of flowers, Chloris-Flora. | | | There are only sixteen extant images that depict Zephyrus alone or with his lovers, and many of these are, at best, not securely identified. | | | All of these unions are documented and illustrated; however, the myth of Zephyrus’ rape of the Harpy Podarge (Iliad XVI.148-151) is not represented, possibly because Harpies were not perceived as creatures of beauty but of rapaciousness, and instead are shown pursued by the Boreads, Zetes and Calaïs, in the tale of Phineus from the Argonautica. |

| | According to Sir John Rhŷs's interpretation of this journal, 'the kings of the city containing the temple and the overseers of the latter were the Boreads, who took up the government in succession, according to their tribes. | | | And further (thereby admitting the sacred purpose of the group), Sir John Rhŷs sees no objection to identifying Stonehenge with the famous temple of Apollo in the island of the Hyperboreans, referred to in the journal of Pytheas' travels. | | | The citizens gave themselves up to music, harping and chanting in honour of the Sun-god, who was every nineteenth year wont himself to appear about the time of the vernal equinox, and to go on harping and dancing in the sky until the rising of the Pleiades.' |

| | Phineus |
| | When Jason and the Argonauts arrived in Phineus' land, they rid his household of the curse by having the winged Boreads pursue the Harpies; the goddess Iris prevented the Boreads from killing the Harpies by promising that Phineus would not be troubled again. | | | In return for the Argonauts' help, Phineus foretold the results of their quest, and revealed to them how they should get past the hazard of the Symplegades. | | | Whenever Phineus sat down to eat, the Harpies would swoop down and steal the food; what little food they left would be foul-smelling and unpalatable. |
