TRANSFORMATION OF THE SCANDINAVIAN MYTHOLOGICAL IDEAS IN THE LEGENDARY SAGAS

Main Article Content

N. SHPAKOUSKAYA

Abstract

It is compared how the ideas of the Old Norse mythology are represented in so-called legendary sagas and The Poetic Edda. It is argued that these ideas differ in these two groups of literary sources due to influence of Christianity and a new creative approach applied by medieval authors at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries.
