First published in 1908, H. A. Guerber's Myths of the Norsemen presents the great stories of Norse mythology through the gods, heroes, creatures, and legends preserved in the Eddas and sagas. Guerber recounts the exploits of Odin, Thor, Loki, Freya, Balder, the Valkyries, giants, dwarfs, and other figures of the Norse tradition, tracing the mythology from the creation of the world through the death of Balder and the coming of Ragnarok. This edition reproduces the original classic illustrations, preserving the visual character of the original work alongside Guerber's narrative. Clear and accessible in presentation, the book is well suited to homeschooling and classical education, as well as to readers interested in mythology, Scandinavian culture, medieval literature, and the traditions that shaped the imagination of Northern Europe.
