Boréades
 |
Boréades são os semideuses do vento, filhos e filhas de Orítia e Bóreas. Eles são: Zetes, Calais,[1] Aura e Quione. A princípio simples humanos, depois dotados de belas asas de ouro.
Calais e Zetes são citados na lenda dos Argonautas, como tripulantes do navio Argo sob o comando de Jasão[2] e que resgataram o rei Fineu das Harpias.
