Showcasing the myths and legends of the Teutonic peoples. They survive to us in folk tales, divine and heroic lays, gripping sagas and epic narratives.\nThis volume deals with the myths and legends of the Teutonic peoples. These evolved from primitive beliefs, and have been handed down from generation to generation and from century to century in the folk literature of oral tradition. They survive to us in folk tales, divine and heroic lays, and in sagas and epic narratives. In the north the myths about the gods persisted longest and had fullest growth, owing to the slow advance of Christianity, which met with obstinate resistance for over two centuries after the conversion of the southern Teutons........ Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
Myths and legends are deeply rooted in the world’s literature, language, and history. But what does the phrase “Achilles heel” refer to, and what did Oedipus or Beowulf actually do? Immerse yourself in captivating narratives of gods, peril, heroic deeds, and cosmic phenomena.

Encounter monstrous creatures and formidable beings like the witch Baba Yaga, alongside legendary quests such as King Arthur's pursuit of the Holy Grail and Jason's quest for the Golden Fleece. The book unfolds the stories of how the Masai acquired their first cattle, the Greeks' discovery of fire, and narratives explaining the concept of death, such as the Maori god Tane's story. Passed down through generations, these sagas from diverse cultures are an integral part of our heritage, resonating deeply within our hearts. "Myths and Legends" not only presents these tales but also provides valuable context and meaning, offering a treasure trove for anyone eager to explore and understand their cultural legacy.
