What reading level is The Edda Vol 1 8 7 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thor's stepsonUllr (Glory) is probably, like his sons Modi and Magni (Wrath andStrength), a mere epithet.
Frigg, Odin's wife and the chief Goddess, daughter of Earth, is not very distinctly characterised, and is often confused withFreyja. Gefion should be the sea-goddess, since that seems to bethe meaning of her name, but her functions are apparently usurped bythe Wane Njörd; according to Snorri, she is the patron of those whodie unwedded.
_Baldr_. --The story of Baldr is the most debated point... in the Edda. Thechief theories advanced are: (1) That it is the oldest part of Norsemythology, and of ritual origin; (2) that Baldr is really a herotransformed into a God; (3) that the legend is a solar myth withor without Christian colouring; (4) that it is entirely borrowedfrom Mediæval Greek and Christian sources. This last theory is tooingenious to be credible; and with regard to the third, there isnothing essentially Christian in the chief features of the legend, while the solar idea leaves too much unexplained.
