Myth and History in Celtic and Scandinavian Traditions explores the
traditions of two fascinating and contiguous cultures in
north-western Europe. History regularly brought these two peoples
into contact, most prominently with the viking invasion of Ireland.
In the famous Second Battle of Mag Tuired, gods such as Lug, Balor,
and the Dagda participated in the conflict that distinguished this
invasion. Pseudohistory, which consists of both secular and
ecclesiastical fictions, arose in this nexus of peoples and myth
and spilled over into other contexts such as chronological annals.
Scandinavian gods such as Odin, Balder, Thor, and Loki feature in
the Edda of Snorri Sturluson and the history of the Danes by Saxo
Grammaticus. This volume explores such written works alongside
archaeological evidence from earlier periods through fresh
approaches that challenge entrenched views.
