Klappentext zu „Influences of Pre-Christian Mythology and Christianity on Old Norse Poetry “

In this study, the author looks closely at the journey of the Norse god Óðinn to the hall of the ancient and wise giant Vafþrúðnir, where Óðinn craftily engages his adversary in a life-or-death contest in knowledge.
