Hyperboreerne og Ultima Thule i antikkens forestillingsverden / Synnøve des Bouvrie.

Title: Hyperboreerne og Ultima Thule i antikkens forestillingsverden / Synnøve des Bouvrie.
Translated title: The concepts of the hyperboreans and Ultima Thule in antiquity.
Author(s): Bouvrie, Synnøve des.
Date: 1996.
Publisher: Tromsø: Ravnetrykk
Language: Norwegian.
In: Ultima Thule. (1996.),
Abstract: Describes ancient conceptions of world near Oceanus's ring. Those of Homer, Aeschylus and Herodotus lead to further exotica "beyond North Wind" of Hesiod and Pindar. First reliable description is by Laskaris Kananos of late Byzantium - "fish eaters' island, Iceland". Ptolemy's colleague Pythias believed that day length must depend on latitude, and confirmed it by visit to England and Scandinavia. He and Pliny described island "Thule", six days north of Britain, where sun was down only three hours in summer. Eratosthenes placed Thule at 66 deg.N. Tacitus described severe weather in northerly latitudes. Strabo zoned earth, unliveable both north and south. "Kvinne" in place of "kven" may be source of Amazon story. Finally, Tacitus is quoted on "maximal nature folk" - Saami/Fenni.
