| | Hyperborea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | What is remarkable about Hyperborea is that it was one of several terrae incognitae to the Greeks and Romans, where Pliny and Herodotus, as well as Virgil and Cicero, reported that people lived to the age of one thousand and enjoyed lives of complete happiness. | | | The Greeks thought that Boreas, the god of the north wind, lived in Thrace, and therefore Hyperborei was an unspecified nation in the northern parts of Europe and Asia. | | | In Greek mythology, according to tradition, the Hyperboreans were a mythical people who lived to the far north of Greece, near the Ural Mountains. |

| | Most of the foulest deities of Hyperborea live in caverns beneath the tallest of the Eiglophians, Mt. Voormithadreth. | | | The concept originates with the Greeks; the word means "beyond the north wind." Herodotus mentions Hyperborea as a land far to the north of mainland Greece, filled with joyous people who lived an Elysian existence under warm twenty-four hour sunshine. | | | Clark Ashton Smith scholars have often overstated the humorous aspect of Hyperborea and let it color their perceptions of the series. |

| | The religious influence of these Aryans was to have a great impact upon all the surrounding religions in promoting the supremacy of a Male concept of God over the Female, which had hitherto dominated Egypt, Babylon, Sumeria, and the Semites, who had all previously worshipped predominantly female maternal goddesses. | | | After scanning some of the mythology surrounding Hyperborea and Thule, it is possible that they could have been the same place. | | | Two major mystic and magical lands spring to mind here; Hyperborea and Ultima Thule - which both feature greatly in Nordic mythology, besides having, from all accounts, actually existed somewhere within the Arctic regions of the world in ancient times. |

| | Assuming that there is an intrinsic validity to the artistry of this Mayan work, then this S curve might indeed represent a sort of "flying serpent", as the Mayans have included in their religious mythology. | | | If we should be lucky enough to witness the next return of Hyperborea, at the same time we should be most suspicious of any such "heavenly fireworks" that might have been utilized in eons long past to frighten our more technologically primitive ancestors. | | | Most people, whatever their religious beliefs, naively pray that Jesus or Allah or Buddha or whoever will "someday" return and "redeem" humankind and lift us up into a heavenly paradise of salvation -- or a hellish purgatory of punishment. |

| | Thus it was a golden age of peace and plenty in mighty Cerngoth, and the people thereof were ignorant of the dark evils which slithered and chanted in the less blessed lands of Hyperborea. | | | For it was well known that Nod was far older than any mortal man; some even said he was in truth immortal, as are the gods themselves, though Nod had denied this many times. | | | During those darkest nights when the moon was lost in the black, starry void above sleeping Uzuldaroum, strange and disturbing sounds could be heard coming from behind the black door, where Izzamandiuth had gone to conjure forth demons from the foul hells beyond and beneath Hyperborea. |

| | The Book of Hyperborea - Postscript by Will Murray |
| | In the case of "Worm," Smith expressed no discoverable preference, but a careful collation of the two manuscripts shows that the second is merely a pruning, not a true revision, and in all probability was undertaken to wring a sale out of an otherwise unplaceable story. | | | The Book of Hyperborea is therefore not as long as Smith foresaw, but given the episodic nature of the cycle there is no reason to believe any critical Hyperborean events or stories are necessarily absent. | | | The Book of Hyperborea - Postscript by Will Murray |

| | TANGERINE DREAM Hyperborea reviews and MP3 |
| | Finally, the 20- minute suite ‘Sphinx Lightning’ fluidly recapitulates the mystic spirit of ‘Hyperborea’, the ethnic flavours of ‘No Man’s Land’, the inscrutable synthetic paraphernalia of their 74-76 albums, and the symphonic elegance of ‘Force Majeure’, all throughout its five sections. | | | — As their final work for Virgin, TD delivered in ‘Hyperborea’ some of their best material during the Schmoelling-era (in my opinion, only second to both ‘Tangram’ suites). | | | Of course, the synth interplay and sound production forbid the band to look back to their old days so they may focus on their present orientation: yet, it’s inevitable to refer to those albums aforementioned when listening to his piece. |
