A Hypoborean is a term used in ancient Greek literature to refer to a mythical people who lived in the far north beyond the North Wind. The term is derived from the Greek words "hypo" meaning under or below, and "boreas" referring to the north wind. The Hypoboreans were often depicted as a blessed and long-lived people who enjoyed a peaceful existence.
