Krátky popis
Who were the Norse gods – the mighty Asyr, led by Ó?inn, 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 Loki’s 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 Ó?inn, 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’.
