Boreas
The ancient Greek name for the north wind (now also borras). Being cold and stormy, it is represented on the Tower of the Winds in Athens by a warmly clad old man carrying a conch shell (probably to represent the howling of the wind). The term may originally have meant “wind from the mountains,” thus the present use of bora.
