VIKING MYTHS & LEGENDS
ISBN: 1 84186 102 2
The Vikings were a passionate and ruthless people with a deep-seated tradition of story telling, calling upon a vibrant and imaginative collection of myths, legends, folktales and fairy tales. Entertaining and often horrifying legends of gods, goddesses, monsters, giants, elves and trolls contrast with ernest romances to compomise a rich and varied mythlogical landscape.
The Scandinavian people fought a constant battle with nature against a spectacular and dramatic setting, where they lived in perpetual darkness, and then, perpetual light. Viking mythology is one of profound contrasts, where unforgetable heros like Odin and Thor, Freyia and Lok, Sigurd and Gundrun provide a guide for living, a record of pagan thinking.
Celebrating the compelling appeal of the fiery Viking tradition, this book gathers together the legends and sagas of a bygone culture in a powerful tribute to the heroism, romance and wrath of the Vikings.
