I absolutely love the Thracian Boreads:

1st: Attic red figure pelike, attributed to Nausicaa Painter, ca. 450 BC. Museum of Fine Arts of Boston, USA. The soothsayer Phineus and the Boreads

2n: Attic red figure krater, ca. 475-425 BC. Museo Nazionale di Spina, Ferrara, Italy. Phineus, the harpies and a ¿Boread?/Thracian

For me, that's what Zetes and Calais are like and imo they always should be depicted as Thracian (at the corresponding period).

I am confused by the timeline of the Boreads. In theory, they are the result of Boreas' rape of Orithyia, but that would be when Orithyia was still very young, and unless they were more long-lived than most or were immortal, it would not make any sense, and they would be too old to be in the Argonautica. I know I'm wrong to base my argument on the line of succession of Athens because Mr Theseus IS A FUCKING TIME BREAKER EVERYWHERE. But if we erase Theseus of he argonautica they fit as young uncles of Aegeus, but I don't know if they fit with the rest of the heroes' genealogy.

This is very "Miami me lo confirmó found first on Google" but to get an idea.

Boreads [(Ancient Greek: Βορεάδαι) were the "wind brothers" in Greek mythology] is a pseudonym I created in 2016 to make hip hop instrumentals and beats. At its core Boreads samples from all over the world that have that 60s - 70s groove. The sound Boreads is going for has to be raw. There is magic - even meditation -  in cutting a sample and filling it with your drums, bass and layers. Something that I will probably never stop. The priority is to make music for your soul and your groove. If people feel connected with that, there is even more magic. All artworks and music videos for Boreads are made by me. Another released project that I’m part of is playing drums on the “Magnesium sessions” which are the pursuit of global ascension practiced by a collective of mountaineers syncing from deep inside the virtual psychotopia.

Me, standing on a box with a megaphone in the middle of nowhere, speaking to no one: The Boreads are interesting mythological figures and deserve the fandom that other Greek heroes get!

THE BOREADS

In Greek mythology, the Boreads are the "wind brothers" Kalias and Zethes, the sons of Boreas and Oreithyia. Due to being sons of the north wind they were supernaturally gifted in different ways either being as fast as the wind or able to fly, having wings either on their feet or backs, depending on the myth. They were Argonauts and played a particularly vital role in the rescue of Phineus from the harpies. They succeeded in driving the monsters away but did not kill them, at a request from the goddess of the rainbow, Iris, who promised that Phineas would not be bothered by the harpies again. As thanks, Phineas told the Argonauts how to pass the Symplegades. X
