Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Scandinavian Mythology, Containing a Popular Account of the Two Eddas and of the Religion of Odin The Mythology of the ancient Scandinavians, respecting which so much curious information has been brought to light, of late years, by the researches of many distinguished writers, in Germany, Denmark, and Sweden,1 has hitherto excited but little attention in this country, al though the subject is well calculated to awaken our interest, not only as the source of most of our popular superstitions, from whence the fa vourite authors of our early childhood and of our maturer age have drawn their witches, their fairies, their dwarfs, their giants, and their ghosts but in an historical point of view also.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1839, this was the first good summary in English of the characters and themes of the Nordic myths, with a popular account of the two Eddas and of the religion of Odin. The author shows that the subject of Scandinavian mythology, then little studied, was the source of most of our popular superstitions, from whence the favorite authors of our early childhood have drawn their witches, fairies, dwarfs, and ghosts. But from a historical point of view also, the religion of Odin must have exercised a great and lasting influence on the character and institutions of the inhabitants of Great Britain. The Jutes, Anglians and Saxons, who, in the course of the fifth and sixth centuries effected the conquest of the greatest part of the island, were worshipers, and their principal leaders reputed descendants of Odin.

Download or read book Odin’s Ways written by Annette Lassen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-24 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the Old Norse god Odin. It includes references to all occurrences of Odin in the Old Norse/Icelandic texts, including Saxo’s Gesta Danorum, the eddic poems, Snorri’s Edda, and Ynglinga saga and analyses the high medieval reception and literary representations of Odin rather than the religious character of the god. This is the only existing study of Odin in all the Old Norse/Icelandic texts and applies a contextual method: the different guises of Odin are studied on the basis of the various textual contexts and on their background in the literary and Christian intellectual milieu of the time. Contrary to existing studies, this method is non-reductive in that it does not aim at providing a synthesis about Odin’s original nature on the basis of the differing textual uses of Odin in the Middle Ages. The book argues that the perceived complexity of Odin, often highlighted in research, is first and foremost a function of the complex textual material spanning a wide variety of genres each with its particular literary conventions and of the reception of Odin in early modern and modern mythological studies.

Download or read book The Norse Myths written by Carolyne Larrington and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2017-02-02 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who were the Norse gods the mighty Æsyr, led by Óðinn, and the mysterious Vanir? In The Norse Myths we meet this passionate and squabbling pantheon, and learn of the mythological cosmos they inhabit. Passages translated from the Old Norse bring this legendary world to life, from the myths of creation to ragnarök, the prophesied end of the world at the hands of Lokis army of monsters and giants, and everything that comes in between: the problematic relationship between the gods and the giants, in which enmity and trickery are punctuated by marriages and seductions; the (mis) adventures of human heroes and heroines, with their family feuds, revenges, marriages and murders; and the interaction between the gods and mortals, as Óðinn, the Allfather, betrays his human protégés in order to recruit (dead) heroes for his army. Carolyne Larrington describes the myths origins in pre-Christian Scandinavia and Iceland, and their survival in artefacts and written sources, from Old Norse sagas and poems to the less approving accounts of medieval Christian writers. She traces their influences into the work of Wagner, William Morris and J.R.R. Tolkien, and even the recent Game of Thrones in the resurrection of the Fimbulvetr, or Mighty Winter.
