Sagas of the Norsemen: Viking and German Myth by Time-Life Books, Jacqueline Simpson, Loren Auerbach

3.0

This is an overview of Germanic and Nordic mythology. It was interesting, but it was somewhat disjointed. It showed the Nordic myths in an unsanitized nature that we have to some extent forgotten. The gods were capricious and quarrelsome. Only warriors who died in battle deserved the highest honor. The influences of these myths are visible today in the names of the week and in much of our contemporary fantasy.
