Who are Hyperboreans?

There is a third element, which is the Hellenic philosophy. And elements of pre-Christian heathendom need not be left out from the equation.

Then it means that Greeks - whose main political-organizational unit was also
polis - are not Hyperboreans?
Polis was the favourite political unit of the Greeks during the brightest period of their culture (the Classical Age). During those times they looked with scorn towards political units of different organizational forms, like the Kingdom of Macedonia or the Persian Empire. For the classical Greeks living in
poleis, they were barbarians.

The answer is simple, it is essentially Hyperborean - the sign of honorable cross, solar calendar we use, celebration of the birth of the God the savior which happens to be during the winter solstice - Sol Invictus, the holy trinity, the three wizards that came from the east to greet the savior of the world were the 3 Irano-Aryan priests etc.

Interesting observations, although they don't convince me in their entirety. In this case Hyperborean seems to be synonymous with Aryan/Indo-European?

What would then be the natural habitat of the
Hyperboreans, whatever that terms means?
