What reading level is The Religion of the Teutons book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
3 Prose introduction to Reginsmal, 234 THE RELIGION OF THE ANCIENT TEUTONS Odhin bears many names in Norse poetry, ^ some of which doubtless owe their origin to Christian intiuence. This latter is certainly the case with Alfadhir (Allfather), and the concep- tions we meet of him as creator of the world and chief god.^ His brothers Vili and Ve appear to be mythical fabrications, but Vili is already known to the scald Thjodholf (ninth cen- tury), and both occur in Lokasefina, 26, where they posse...ss themselves of the person of Frigg. The story, interpreted in a euhemeristic spirit, is also found in YiigliHgasaga, Chapter 3.
The many sides of Odhin's character that we have encoun- tered have not been reduced among the ancient Teutons to a fixed form, or been placed in an ideal light by either poetry or the plastic arts. The literary remains that have come down to us, though numerous, are only fragmentary, and while they may suggest to us correct combinations, they may also tempt us to make others that are wholly arbitrary.
