Noorsche mythen uit de Edda's en de sagen

The collection retells the principal Norse myths and sagas, presenting cosmogony, the deeds and personalities of key deities such as Odin, Thor, Frey, and Freya, and the roles of figures like Loki, the Valkyries, and the Norns. It explores supernatural races—giants, dwarfs, elves—and recounts heroic narratives including the Sigurd and Frithiof legends, concluding with the gods' twilight and comparative remarks on classical myth. Chapters are organized around deities, beings, and episodes, combining narrative summary with thematic commentary and many illustrative plates that accompany the ancient poems and prose traditions.
