註釋This is the story of an island that cannot be located on a map. Only one certainty remains from the scarce information gathered in ancient texts: Thule was somewhere in the high latitudes of Northern Europe, with a very uncommon natural environment. Many locations have been proposed, including Iceland, the Shetlands, and Scandinavia, but their identification with Thule was often guided by ideological debates, national pride and a strong desire by some nations to relate to very old ancestors. Because of its insularity, association with the confines, and communication with the beyond, Thule has progressively become a primary source of dreams for poets and novelists. With his famous "Ballad of the King of Thule," Goethe was a foremost artisan in a new transformation in which Thule became the country of nowhere (either in a positive or negative vision). Monique Mund-Dopchie describes this process as the start of a new myth. French text.
