Götter - Helden - Mythen: 3 Bände im Schuber

This slipcase edition brings together three major works of Nordic and Germanic mythology: the Edda, the Nibelungenlied, and Germanic myths and heroic sagas. The Edda contains tales of gods and heroes that date back to the 9th century. They depict legendary events from Iceland, Norway, and Greenland during the so-called Viking Age. The Nibelungenlied was created at the beginning of the 13th century and is a written German heroic epic, with its story's origins tracing back to the era of the Germanic migrations. Felix and Therese Dahn provide a comprehensive insight into the Germanic and Nordic mythological world in this volume. In the first part, "God Sagas," the fundamental views of the divine realm and individual gods such as Odin, Thor, and Loki are introduced. Following this, Therese Dahn presents the most famous heroic sagas, from the Wölsungen to Beowulf and the Nibelungen.
