I don't have my sources in front of me, but I was under the impression that
exactly what the Romans meant by Thule was not as clear cut as all that. It's
an island, and it's on the ends of the earth. I've seen many sources say it's
Iceland or the Orkneys... granted these are probably later traditions, but do
we have any way of knowing that they're wrong?
