Synopsis
Packed with gods, anti-gods, magical figures, human heroes, religious practices, and literary devices, Norse Mythology lays bare the reasons for our enduring fascination with Norse myths. Jackson Crawford also connects the dots between the Icelandic sagas of human heroes and the culture and worldview of the pre-modern Scandinavian peoples.
