 Hyperborea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Greek mythology, according to tradition, the Hyperboreans were a mythical people who lived to the far north of Greece, near the Ural Mountains.
According to Herodotus (4.13), the Hyperboreans lived beyond the Arimaspians and were visited by Aristeas, who is said to have written a hexameter poem (now lost) dealing with them.
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 to enjoy lives of complete happiness.

 "The Hyperboreans: Classical Greek Notions of Northern Europe during the fifth century BCE" (2000)
This is hardly surprising considering that the Hyperboreans were described as living in perpetual bliss, content with what they have been provided with by the bounty of their land and thus having no reason to expand or displace their culture.
The similarities there are endless in that both the Hyperborean land and Thule are believed to be at the edge of the known world (Scandinavia), cannot be reached by land or sea in the physical sense, and share a relationship with the Mediterranean cultures to the south, socially and economically (Stefansson, 3-23 and Chevallier, 341-346).
The reference to the Hyperboreans is that of Perseus, a mythical heroic victor himself (cast as comparable to the lauded athletes in these lyric poems), who feasted among these Hyperboreans and observes their cultural practices:

 The Hyperborean Page
There is also a city, sacred to the same God, most of the inhabitants of which are harpers, who continually play upon their harps in the temple, and sing hymns to the God, extoling his actions.
It is related that some Greeks formerly visited the Hyperboreans, with whom they left consecrated gifts of great value, and also that in ancient times Abaris, coming from the Hyperboreans into Greece, renewed their family intercourse with the Delians.
There seems to be a certain instinctive morbidity in us, a certain minor strain which, of course, comes out of the gloom, as it were, of the universal disappointment and fear of the race mind.

Actually, the Hyperboreans were held to live in the mysterious Thule, the divide of the world that lay beyond the ocean.
So, the mythical Hyperboreans, the mysterious "peoples that live beyond the Boreal winds" are not those who lived in the Alps, above Europe, but the ones who lived beyond the monsoon winds that blow in the northern coasts of Indonesia and nearby regions.

The Hyperboreans also have a language, we are informed, which is peculiar to them, and are most friendly disposed towards the Greeks, and especially towards the Athenians and the Delians, who have inherited this goodwill from most ancient times.
A further clue about the "religion" of the Hyperboreans comes from the myths of Orpheus.
That there was regular contact between the Greeks and the Hyperboreans over many centuries does not seem to be in doubt.

 A Journal of Alternative News
Hecataeus (circa 500 BC) says that the holy place of the Hyperboreans, which was built “after the pattern of the spheres”, lay “in the regions beyond the land of the Celts” on “an island in the ocean.” According to popular accounts, the God Apollo& temple at Delphi was founded by individuals from Hyperborea.
They brought the name Tula from their country of origin and gave it to a centre which consequently must have replaced, to a certain extent, that of the lost continent.
The wearing of a star-embroidered robe by the King and ‘Ruler of the World’ — the heavenly sphere serving as a symbol of the earthly one — is a custom that can be traced to the Hyperboreans.

 Behind the North Wind by Lin Carter
The Hyperboreans, they said, were beautiful naked people who lived in the far north-the name, Hyperborea, is usually believed to come from ?pe?ß??e??, a Greek term meaning "behind the North Wind"- and their country was sometimes described as an island and some- times as part of the northern coast of Asia or Europe.
Unfortunately, most of what the Greeks had to say about the Hyperboreans has been lost.
This last Hyperborean story, by the way, is the sequel to the first; for therein the thief Satampra Zeiros makes his reappearance for the first time after his introduction twenty-seven years earlier.

The contemporary writers Damastes of Sigeum and Hellanicus of Lesbos agree in their statements in placing beyond the fabled tribes of the North the Rhipaean Mountains from which the north wind blows, and on the other side of these, on the seacoast, the Hyperboreans.
In fact they appear in the form of "Ripai", in Alcman, a lyric poet of the 7th century B.C., who is the first to mention them.

In Greek mythology, Hyperboreans were a tribe who lived far to Greece's north.

In Greek mythology, the Hyperboreans were a race who inhabited the northern portion of the earth, beyond the great mountains whose caverns were thought to send forth the blasts of the north wind that chilled the people of Hellas.
The Hyperboreans were especially favoured by the god of light, Apollo, whose mother Leto had been born amongst them.
For three months of each year, it was said, Apollo would leave Delphi and join these northerners, travelling through the sky in a chariot drawn by swans.
