Episode 29 - Spotting the Christian Influence

Norse Mythology: The Unofficial Guide - Un pódcast de Wælhræfn

Categorías:

Some Norse mythology enthusiasts are strangely terrified of Christian influence in our sources. And some will even go so far as advise others to ignore some of our most important sources, believing them to be full of corruption. In this episode, we'll talk about why there is no real need to be afraid of Christian influence in Norse mythology, and about how to recognize it when you see it.
