Answer 4

North, south, east and west  -  a poetical way of saying 'everywhere' in the middle ages.

"At the round earth's imagined corners, blow

Your trumpets, Angels, and arise, arise

From death, you numberless infinities

Of souls, and to your scattered bodies go"

John Donne

Answer 5

The Earth is a sphere.  Spheres have no corners.

There are more than four elements.  It's been a while since I've had my periodic table out, but as I recall there were over a hundred.

I assume you're speaking figuratively here.  However, I do not know what myth set you're asking about.
