Old Norse mythology is elusive: it is the label used to describe
the religious stories of the pre-Christian North, featuring such
well-known gods as Odin and Thor, yet most of the narratives have
come down to us in manuscripts from the Middle Ages mainly written
by Christians. Our view of the stories as they were transmitted in
oral form in the pre-Christian era is obscured. To overcome these
limitations, this book assembles comparisons from a range of
theoretical and analytical perspectives across media, cultures, and
disciplines. Fifteen scholars from a wide range of fields examine
the similarities of and differences of the Old Norse mythologies
with the myths of other cultures. The differences and similarities
within the Old Norse corpus itself are examined to tease out the
hidden clues to the original stories.
