Teutonic Myth and Legend
Description
Teutonic Myth and Legend is a book by Donald A. Mackenzie, first published in 1912. Mackenzie offers an accessible, narrative introduction to the Northern mythological cycle, drawing together material from the Eddas and sagas, the Volsung and Nibelung traditions, Beowulf and medieval German romance.
The book moves from cosmogony and the nine worlds through the principal gods and heroes — Odin, Thor, Loki and others — to the great tragic cycles, presenting myths and legends in a form that suits both general readers and those beginning study of Norse and Germanic tradition. Placed in the context of early 20th-century folkloristics, the work reflects Mackenzie’s comparative approach and his effort to make ancient Teutonic stories intelligible to modern audiences. It has been used by students, writers and mythology enthusiasts as a comprehensive retelling and introduction to Norse mythology, Teutonic myths, Eddas, sagas and Viking legends, and remains a handy reference for anyone exploring the roots of medieval northern literature and folklore.
