[1] Incorrect. Our primary source on the episode in question here (
Herodotus 7.188ff.) makes it clear that Aphetai is far to the north of Attica, in Thessaly; see also
Strabo 9.5.15 & 18. Perhaps just inside the Gulf of Pagasai, or (as, speculatively, in the
Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World map 55 grid E2) just outside it, near Olizon.
[2] The north wind; cf.
beta 390.
[3] Apollo of
Delphi.
[4] In
Herodotus, more precisely, son-in-law (since Boreas had married an Athenian woman, Oreithyia, about to be mentioned).
