Also of interest is the fact that Cicero states that Apollo came from the "land of the Hyperboreans", which many believe to be Britain. I've also heard that there are legends in which Apollo is said to travel from the land of The Hyperboreans (Hyperborea means "the land beyond the north wind", I believe) to Delphi (his temple, the ancient Greek omphalos) in a chariot drawn by swans, and also a tale in which Abaris, a Hyperborean Apollo priest, travelled from Hyperborea to Greece (by riding one of Apollo's arrows) in order to visit Pythagoras. Does anyone know any more of these last two tales?
