Thule
Thule (also Thula, Thyle, Thylee, Thile, Thila, Tile, Tila, Tilla, Tyle, or Tylen—being Θούλη in Greek) is in Classical sources a place, usually an island. Ancient
European descriptions and maps locate it either in the far north, often northern
Great Britain, possibly the
Orkneys or
Shetland Islands, or
Scandinavia, or, in the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance, in the west and north, often
Iceland or
Greenland. Another suggested location is
Saaremaa in the
Baltic Sea.
