I think I was thinking of this:

Quintus Smyrnaeus, Fall of Troy 12. 189 ff (trans. Way) (Greek epic C4th A.D.) :
"Zeus . . . charioted upon the Anemoi (Winds), Euros (the East), Boreas (the North), Zephyros (the West-wind), and Notos (the South) [the four-wind gods in the shape of horses] : for Iris rainbow-plumed led 'neath the yoke of his eternal ear that stormy team."

Dammit, now I have to rewrite that line...
