Myths of the Norsemen: From the Eddas and Sagas by H.A. Guerber. A collection of myths that tell of the creation of the world, the deeds of such gods and heroes as Odin, Thor and Siegfried, the machinations of the evil Loki, and more. Entertaining and readable, these tales present the ancient Germanic and Scandinavian myths that have helped shape literature. H. A. Geuerber's The Myths of the Norsemen is a classic collection of stories retold from Norse mythology. Beginning with the Norse myth of creation and following through the sagas of more than twenty gods, heroes and villains, The Myths of the Norsemen recounts the rich mythological tradition of the Norse people. Of the more familiar characters in this collection one might immediately recognize the stories of Odin and Thor. These stories are brought together with less familiar Norse myths. Readers both young and old will delight in these classic tales of adventure and fantasy. [mehr]

Babylonia May Be Regarded As The Gift Of The Tigris And Euphrates--Those Great Shifting And Flooding Rivers Which For Long Ages Had Been Carrying Down From The Armenian Highlands Vast Quantities Of Mud To Thrust Back The Waters Of The Persian Gulf And Form A Country Capable Of Being Utilized For Human Habitation. The Most Typical Babylonian Deity Was Ea, The God Of The Fertilizing And Creative Waters. He Was Depicted Clad In The Skin Of A Fish, As Gods In Other Geographical Areas Were Depicted Wearing The Skins Of Animals Which Were Regarded As Ancestors, Or Hostile Demons That Had To Be Propitiated. Originally Ea Appears To Have Been A Fish--The Incarnation Of The Spirit Of, Or Life Principle In, The Euphrates River. His Centre Of Worship Was At Eridu, An Ancient Seaport, Where Apparently The Prehistoric Babylonians (The Sumerians) First Began To Utilize The Dried-Up Beds Of Shifting Streams To Irrigate The Soil. One Of The Several Creation Myths Is Reminiscent Of Those Early Experiences Which Produced Early Local Beliefs: [mehr]

"I Went Up To Babylon So That I Might Meet Thee, But Did Not, And Was Much Depressed. Let Me Know Why Thou Didst Go Away So That I May Be Made Glad. And Do Come Hither.

He Expressed Astonishment That He Had Been Arrested, And, Having Protested His Innocence, He Made Touching Appeal For Little Luxuries Which Were Denied To Him, Adding That The Last Consignment Which Had Been Forwarded Had Never Reached Him.

This book gives you something other books on Norse mythology do not. It contains 64 superb black and while illustrations which, for those who love mythology, are worth the price of the book alone. Also, this volume contains the most dramatic and compelling retelling of Ragnarok I have ever found. In this book, the myths are partly stories and partly explanations of what stories and their characters mean. So it does not feel that you are actually reading tales. For a more "direct" reading of the tales I use Crossley-Holland's "The Norse Myths." Also, I thought that too much was made of similarities between Greek and Northern mythology at the end of this book. Some comparisons feel artificial and strained. But one should keep in mind that this book was originally written in the 1920s, when linguists were very impressed, some would say "scandalized," by the apparent common origin of most European and some Asian languages. These languages, which today include all but three European languages, belong to the so-called Indo-European or Indo-Aryan group. It does appear that a number of characters in the Greek and Northern myths had a common Indo-Aryan prototype, but as already said, some similarities are farfetched and artificially constructed. The book contains a comprehensive index. [mehr]
