INTRO: Among the myths we've inherited from the ancient Greeks,
there's one about a "land beyond the north wind," a kind of
arctic paradise where the sun always shines and people live for
a thousand years. Since the north wind was named
borea, and
the Greeks weren't sure where this magical land actually was,
they simply called it hyper-borea: beyond...the north wind.

In the two and a half millennia since those mythy days of
Greece, the term has not been forgotten: it's been used in
literature by Nietzsche, James Joyce, Robert Howard, Stephen
King, and H.P. Lovecraft; in films, comics and video games;
by TANGERINE DREAM as an album title, BIOSPHERE as a
piece title, as the
name of a Finnish folk group, and not least —
a Bulgarian 'death metal' rock band.
