Six 'new' essays on Norse mythology by the Swedish poet and
scholar, Viktor Rydberg (1828-1895), translated into English for
the first time. Representing half of the second volume of Rydberg's
two-volume "Undersokningar i Germanisk Mythologi," this work
includes: Later Germanic Myths, exploring aspects of their
relationship to other Indo-European systems. Towards the Baldur
Myth, an analysis of the proto Indo-European myth of the Divine
Twins, and an investigation of Baldur and Hodur's character in the
North.Harbarosljoo, a case for identifying the famous ferryman of
the Eddaic lay with Thor's rival, the cunning Loki.Brisingamen's
Smiths, an examination of the nature of dwarves in Norse mythology
and folklore.An Overview of the Mythic Epic, a complete
chronological outline of the mythic events preserved in the Eddas
and elsewhere, based on Rydberg's comprehensive study of the
Germanic source material.
Insightful research from the dawn of Eddaic studies, these
controversial essays remain as relevant today, as they were when
they were published over a century ago.
This is the second part of a two-part set.
