Description
Gothic Myths and Legends is a unique retelling of ancient Gothic stories, combining Roman historians' writings with Norse sagas. Aelfric Avery has woven these narratives into a single tale of the Gothic gods, kings, and heroes. The story is divided into two parts: the "Gude Spill" or Story of the Gods, which explores the creation of the world and the divine origins of the Goths, and the "Amale Spill" or Story of the Amali line of Gothic kings. This book also includes a commentary on the Gude Spill, explaining how the primary sources have been combined, as well as an English translation of "The Battle of the Goths and Huns" from the Hervarar Saga. This collection offers a fresh perspective on the surviving ancient stories, blending historical accounts with original narrative and poetry.
