4.9/5 (18423 ratings)

Description:The King, the Champion and the Sorcerer: The three mighty gods of the Germanic pantheon, Freyr, Bórr, and Odinn, are very different from one nother. Freyr appears as the divine counterpart of the sacred human king, Borr is the friend of men and the champion of human values.Odinn, as a mysterious wonderer and magician, arrives unexpectedly to help, to counsel, or to destroy. This book traces the equalities of the gods to the variant strands of which Germanic myth is woven: to the humanistic values of the Ancient Middle East where the figure of the monster-fighter originated, to social institution of kingship, and to the warrior ideals of the nomadic steppe nations. This new study by Lotte Motz is a major step towards questioning Dumezil´s Three-Function-Theory and is likely to spark off new discussions on the nature and origin of the heathen Germanic religion.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
