3. BOREAS: The God of the North Wind who had two faces - one facing where he was going, the other from whence he came. He was the male counterpart to Eos.

4. CIRCE: The Enchantress who changed men into beasts. Ulysses was given a sprig from a certain plant by Hermes which allowed him to resist her charms.

Her curiosity about its contents overwhelmed her - she opened it and all the evils of the world flew out. Too late she closed it, but she managed to prevent the escape of Hope.
