An Introduction to Viking Mythology

More about the book

This book takes a fresh look at the best-loved and most exciting stories that make up the rich body of Viking mythology. It begins by introducing each of the characters that feature in the stories: the goddesses Freya, Frigga, Iduna, Hela, the gods Odin, Thor, Loki, Balder, Frey and countless other giants, elves, dwarves, Norns and Valkyries, heroes and heroines of the mythical Viking world. It then covers the creation, the tales of the gods and goddesses (which naturally form the major part of the book), ending with the death of the gods and goddesses.
