Another Athenian Festival (c) in honour of Boreas; who had an Altar in Attica, and was thought to bear some relation to the Athe∣nians, having marry'd Orithyia, the Daughter of Erectheus: for which reason, when in a Sea-fight a great many of their Enemies Ships we•••• destroy'd by a North-wind, the Athenians imputed it to the kindness Boreas had for his Wive's native Countrey, as Pausanias reports (d).
We are inform'd by the same Author (e), that Solemn Sacrifices were offer'd to Boreas at Megalopolis in Arcadia, where he had a Temple, and Divine honours.
