Sael og heil!
I am pleased to announce that the Viking Answer Lady website
(http://www.realtime.com/~gunnora) has finally been completely redesigned
for a more up-to-date look, plus better navigation. And of course, new
articles have been added as well.
Look for more new articles to come in the next few months!
Brand-New Articles:
--------------------------
The First Viking Raid in Europe: A furore Normannorum libera nos, Domine
(General Articles Section)
A look at the first recorded Viking raid at Lindisfarne
in 793 and the origins of the commonly quoted
phrase, "From the fury of the Northmen deliver me,
O Lord".
The Beasts of Battle: Raven, Eagle and Wolf
(Arts & Literature Section)
The use of the Beasts of Battle theme, naming
the scavenger beasts of the battlefield` in poetry
to evoke a battle scene, is one of the hallmarks
of Old Norse and Old English poetry. This article
examines the mythological associations connected
with each of the Beasts and shows how these
associations can be used in poetry to amplify the
underlying meaning of the poem.
Recently Added Articles:
