Germanic and Norse mythology scholarship
Volume 3 of the Norroena edition of Rydberg's monumental work focuses on in-depth analyses of specific deities, mythic characters, and cosmological theories. It expands on Rydberg's comparative analysis of the Eddas and sagas, particularly exploring his 'World Mill' theory and providing detailed studies of Odin, Thor, Freyja, and mythic figures like Svipdag. It remains one of the most comprehensive reconstructions of the primary Germanic mythological world.
