This lecture delves into the interpretations of Scandinavian mythology by two influential authors, focusing on the structural theory and classification of gods. It explores the societal implications of these myths, including the hierarchical structure of gods and the ideal society they represent. The lecture also discusses the myth of Hrungnir, the initiation of Thor, and the role of different gods in the Germanic soul. Furthermore, it examines the conversion of Scandinavia to Christianity, detailing the process, key figures, and the political implications of this religious shift.
