Аннотация:
This vintage book contains a comprehensive encyclopaedia of ancient Scandinavian mythology. It includes explanations of many important tales and explores the meanings and symbolism of the characters and deities, all of which is interspersed with authentic poetry. Contents include: “The Beginning”, “Odin”, “Frigga”, “Thor”, “Tyr”, “Bragi”, “Idun”, “Niörd”, “Frey”, “Uller”, “Forseti”, “Heimdall”, “Hermod”, “Vidar”, “Vali”, “The Norns”, “The Valkyrs”, “Hel”, “Balder”, “Loki”, “The Giants”, “The Dwarfs”, “The Elves”, “The Sigurd Saga”, et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction. This book was first published in 1909.
