The Death of Balder is a tragic play written by Johannes Ewald and first published in 1889. The play is based on the Norse myth of Balder, the god of light and purity, who is prophesied to die. The story follows Balder's wife Nanna, his brother Hod, and his father Odin as they try to prevent his death. However, their efforts are in vain as Balder is ultimately killed by Hod, who is manipulated by the trickster god Loki. The play explores themes of fate, betrayal, and the struggle between good and evil. It is a classic work of Danish literature and a significant contribution to the genre of Nordic mythology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
