Epic tales of heroism and adventure from Norse mythology, by noted scholar of myth and folklore H. A. Guerber, now repackaged for Union Square and Co.'s Signature Editions series.<BR><BR> Over the centuries, Northern mythology has exerted much influence on Western customs, language, and literature. Its principal theme of the perpetual struggle of the beneficent forces of nature against the injurious, and its twin characteristics of dark tragedy and grim humor, tinge much European literature and music, most notably Wagner’s Ring Cycle. <BR><BR> In this volume, a noted scholar of myth and folklore has assembled a rich collection of Northern mythology as preserved in the Eddas and sagas of Iceland. These are perhaps the purest versions of the original myths, thanks to the island’s remoteness and lack of contact with outside influences. Both grand and tragical, the age-old tales tell of the creation of the world; the heroic deeds of such gods and heroes as Odin, Thor, and Siegfried; the machinations of the evil Loki; the fantastical adventures of giants, dwarfs, and elves; the twilight of the gods; and much else.

Guerber’s lively retellings of Greek mythology have become legends unto themselves, long prized for their simple, graphic, accurate interpretations of the principal myths of Ancient Greece and Rome. <BR><BR> From the legendary gods and goddesses residing on Mount Olympus—Jupiter, Juno, Minerva, Apollo, Diana, Venus, Mercury, Mars, and others—to the adventures of Ulysses and Aeneas, this rich assembly offers hours of compelling reading and abundant insight into one of the influential mythologies of Western culture.
