"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;
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.
