The Scandinavians, like no other people of medieval Europe, preserved the memory of their pagan past until the 13th century, when the ancient songs of the Elder Edda about gods and heroes were written down and the unique textbook of skaldic poetry, the Younger Edda, was created. These monuments convey to us a picture of the mythological world from its origins to its destruction and subsequent rebirth.

This world, full of cruelty and poetry, retains its charm to this day, and its gods and monsters are a constant presence on screens and in fantasy novels. In this book, you will meet Odin and Thor, Freyr and Loki, hear echoes of battles and skald songs, learn about pagan sanctuaries and Viking rituals, and discover how ancient beliefs influenced the society, culture, and art of Christian Scandinavia.
