Overview

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Myths of the Norsemen by Helene Adeline GuerberThe purpose of realizing this historical context is to approach the understanding of a historical epoch from the elements provided by the text. Hence the importance of placing the document in context. It is necessary to unravel what its author or authors have said, how it has been said, when, why and where, always relating it to its historical moment.The cosmology of Norse mythology includes a strong component of duality. For example, day and night have their mythological counterparts: Dagr / Skinfaxi and Nott / Hrimfaxi, the sun and the wolf that persecutes it (in this mythology the sun is feminine and the moon, masculine) bringing darkness Sol and Skoell, the moon and the wolf that chases her Mani and Hati, and the total opposition between Niflheim and Muspelheim that gives rise to the world. This can be seen reflected in a deep metaphysical belief in the opposites for the creation of the universe.The Nordic peoples worshiped two classes of gods, one of them and the main one is that of the AEsir.
