Hyperborea

Hyperborea was a mythical land in Greek mythology, described as a perfect, sunlit paradise “beyond the North Wind”. In ancient sources, it was said to be the home of a blessed people who were favorites of the god Apollo. Today, Hyperborea is viewed as a myth that likely combined ideas of utopian lands, early descriptions of northern lands, and the “midnight sun” phenomenon.

Mythological origins: Ancient Greek writers placed Hyperborea far to the north, sometimes behind a range of mountains called the Riphean Mountains, which shielded it from the cold.
Connection to Apollo: Hyperboreans were often portrayed as being particularly favored by the sun god Apollo, and some myths claimed they were the ones who founded his shrines at Delos and Delphi.
Modern interpretations: Later writers, in medieval and Renaissance literature, used the name to signify remoteness and exoticism. Some modern scholars see the myth as an amalgamation of ancient ideas about utopian societies and exaggerated reports of phenomena like the midnight sun in the Arctic.
Esoteric and fringe beliefs: In some esoteric and fringe belief systems, including Nazi-related ideologies, Hyperborea has been incorrectly described as a real ancestral homeland of the “Aryan race”.
Other fictional uses: The name has also been used in fiction, such as in H.P. Lovecraft’s Hyperborean Cycle, where it is the setting for stories involving a race of toad-like humanoids called Voormis.
