About This Book

A retelling of Norse cosmogony and mythic tradition describes the world's origin from the interplay of fire and ice and the emergence of primordial beings. It offers concise portraits of principal deities such as Odin, Frigga, Thor, Freyja, and Loki, and surveys the functions of the Norns, Valkyrs, giants, dwarfs, and elves. Selected sagas recount legendary exploits and tragic destinies, including the Sigurd and Frithiof cycles, and the sequence leading to the gods' twilight. The material is organized with poetic quotations, illustrations, explanatory notes and a glossary, and concludes with a brief comparison of Northern and Greek mythic motifs.
