Quote | “It (the winter, E. K.) is accompanied by the protective winds: Lips, Zephyrus, Phoenix, Boreas, Notus […] Together with the great knowledge of the ancient mythology, the poet reveals here the great talent of humor, […] Plus he knows the God of Southern Wind Notus and its brothers – Boreas, Zephyrus, Eurus and others, as if he were a Greek poet of Hesiod’s time […] All these ancient characters the poet needed as a material, to show the picture clearer. Everybody has this right. Zephyrus, Boreas and others, are well known, generic personages”. (pg.249) |
