Markings: possible previous owner inscription. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA landmark work in the study of Norse and Germanic mythology, Gods and Myths of Northern Europe presents a comprehensive and authoritative account of the pre-Christian belief systems of the Viking Age and the Germanic peoples. H. R. Ellis Davidson chronicles the major deities of the Norse pantheon — Odin, Thor, Freyr, and their kin — while unpacking the rich cosmological and ritual frameworks that surrounded them. Drawing on archaeological evidence, medieval sagas, and comparative mythology, the work illustrates how these ancient gods reflected the values, fears, and worldview of northern European warrior societies. Written with scholarly precision yet remaining thoroughly accessible, it remains an essential reference for anyone seeking to understand the religious imagination that shaped an entire civilization before the coming of Christianity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956367864027,"sku":"2026200008650-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/032e9fd5-11e2-41fb-8584-8a734007a4f7.png?v=1783500369","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008650-secondhand-gods-and-myths-of-northern-europe","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
