<p>"Hyperborea" was noted by the Greeks to have been a land beyond the vicious boreal winds of the north, in a sunlit realm of justice with no disease, war, old age, or labour. Where did this mythology come from and why is it still being referenced today?&nbsp;</p> <p>Part 2 will be out early for 2$ a month for Patrons at patreon.com/livagar . Additional bonus content about hyperborea will also be posted there.</p> <p>Music in earlier part of the episode by Jan Janko Močnik: https://janjmocnik.bandcamp.com/album/pagania-i&nbsp;</p> <p>Sources used in this episode:</p> <p>Hyperboreans : myth and history in Celtic-Hellenic contacts, Timothy P.
