  • KOTI1205 Old Norse Mythology, 5 ECTS

Time:

Spring term

Objectives:

The student has basic knowledge on Old Norse mythology during the Viking Age, can read Viking Age sources analytically, can explain the functions of the myths during the pagan time and can explain the pagans' view on the world.

Content:

The student examines the Norse mythology's role in pre-Christian Scandinavia through reading and analyzing a selection of mythological sources and themes. During this course we will look into the myths of the Norsemen to see what actually went on before Christianity was introduced in Scandinavia. What did the pagans believe in and how did they understand the world? The mythology is rather blurry and unknown to us today, but still it has left deep impressions in the minds and traditions of the Scandinavians. We will explore the mythology from the Viking Age and onwards to see how it met changes in society, and we will read old sources and new theories to analyze and understand the role of the mythology then and now. The course language is English and no prior Scandinavian studies are required
