In
Greek mythology, according to tradition, the Hyperboreans were a mythical people who lived far to the north of
Thrace. Their land, called Hyperborea, or Hyperboria — "beyond the
Boreas (
north wind)") — was perfect, with the sun shining twenty-four hours a day.Never the Muse is absentfrom their ways: lyres clash and flutes cryand everywhere maiden choruses whirling.Neither disease nor bitter old age is mixedin their sacred blood; far from labor and battle they live. (
Pindar, Tenth Pythian Ode,
Richmond Lattimore, translator).
