Description
Abaris the Hyperborean was a semi-legendary sage, healer, magician and priest of Apollo known to the Ancient Greeks. He was said to be endowed with the gift of clairvoyance and prophecy, and to have travelled around the world with a golden arrow given to him by Apollo (in some stories flying on it, like a witch's broomstick), eating no food. 18th Century speculation made him a Druid, either Welsh or Scottish Gaelic, but modern scholarship suggests he was a central Asian shaman.
