"The Heroes of Asgard: Tales from Scandinavian Mythology" by A. & E. Keary is a collection of mythological stories written in the early 20th century. This charming compilation delves into the rich tapestry of Scandinavian mythology, exploring the legendary figures and events that shaped the beliefs of the ancient Norse people. The tales introduce readers to key characters such as Odin, Thor, and Loki, as they navigate their fateful journeys through realms populated by gods, giants, and other mythical beings. The opening of the book begins with a preface discussing the importance of understanding the myths to grasp the religion of the ancient Scandinavians. It explains how these stories were conveyed through oral traditions and later transcribed, providing a glimpse into a world filled with wonder and moral undertones. The first chapter introduces us to foundational mythological concepts, such as the primordial state of the universe, the emergence of the gods, and the construction of Asgard, their heavenly home. Odin’s character is highlighted, showcasing his leadership among the gods and the conflicts faced in their continuous struggle against giants, establishing the themes of heroism and fate that recur throughout the tales.
