Norse mythology is one of the richest and most distinctive mythological traditions in the world, drawing from the Eddas and sagas written in medieval Iceland to preserve the beliefs of the pre-Christian Germanic and Scandinavian peoples. This book presents the myths in their original complexity, covering the gods of Asgard, the nine worlds, the great cosmic battles, and the strange and often dark logic that governs the Norse universe.
Written for an adult audience, this book goes beyond the popular versions of Thor and Odin and explores the full range of Norse mythology, including the lesser-known figures, the intricate cosmology, and the role of fate and the Norns. It draws directly on the Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda, and provides context for what the myths meant to the people who told them. It is an informative and engaging introduction to a tradition that continues to influence literature, art, and popular culture.
Contents:
