Apollo is a Sun God. As the sun, his duty is to stay in his own kingdom in summer, and he spends his vacation with Aphrodite. Hyperborea is a mythical country in the North.

" Ils vivaient comme des dieux, le coeur libre de tout souci......

Lorsqu'ils mouraient on eut dit qu'ils tombaient endormis."
