课程概述

This course is an introduction to the religion of the Vikings as it is recorded in Old Norse and Scandinavian literature from the medieval period. You will learn about the different written sources and what they can teach us about pre-Christian religion in northern Europe in the Viking Age. The course surveys the primary collection of Old Norse poetry about the pre-Christian Scandinavian gods, the Poetic Edda. We will also work with the main collections of stories about the Old Norse gods in prose: Snorri Sturluson's Edda and Saxo's History of the Danes....

Great introduction to Norse Mythology and the intricacies and history woven into them. Much more than just memorizing names of gods and their special characteristics. Would love a follow up class.

Nice and (probably) complete overview of the poems and sources. Context of the time period could be better, because the turbulent times that made the poems written down are not fully explaned. Snorri might have written his Edda to prevent losing all the knowledge, explanations and history the Christians didn't like. There is very much disappeard, because there are hardly sources to find between 400 and 900 CE, which is the time we are to told that we already were Christians. It's been a time of religious war, that we are not supposed to know. Snorri probably was no christian, nor proves that he believed in the old Norse mythology. Adapting to Christian "values" ment preserving the Nordic Mythology. You might give him the credit for that. For lots of tales are lost.
