We are thrilled to be joined by Dr. Carolyne Larrington, Professor of Medieval European Literature at Oxford University. She has authored many fantastic books related to European Mythology as well as one of the best translations of the Poetic Edda currently available. We discuss many stories including the Hjaðningavíg, the Christianization of the Norse lands, the nature of Odin, and much more. This was a fantastic discussion and we are honoured to have had Professor Larrington on the show. Here are a few links to some of Professor Larrington's notable works that we discussed on the show. We highly recommend her Poetic Edda as well as her book of Norse Myths.

This is the Northern Myths Podcast, an archetypal exploration of the myths and legends of Northern Europe. Join us as we learn about Norse Mythology, Jungian Archetypes, and much more. Dan and Luke are both a part of the Asatru and Heathenry community, and they have a passion for Norse Mythology and Germanic Mythology. Together, we hope to have Norse Mythology explained in a way that can appeal to everyone, and learn how to apply its lessons to everyday life.
