On Sunday, Oct. 25 at 2 PM learn about the MYTHS OF THE VIKINGS, a Vermont Humanties program sponsored by the Friends of the Jeudevine at the Memorial Building in Hardwick. Like Greek mythology, Norse myths are still with us, inspiring storytellers from Tolkien to Neil Gaiman, Michael Chabon, and A.S. Byatt. Surprisingly, most of what we know about Valhalla and the Valkyries, Odin and the Well of Wisdom, the Mighty Thor, and Ragnarok or the Twilight of the Gods was written by a 13th century Icelandic chieftain, Snorri Sturluson.
Award winning author Nancy Marie Brown brings the fascinating story of Sturluson’s life into focus, drawing on newly available sources and illuminating the folklore and pagan legends of medieval Scandinavia.
There will be light refreshments and conversation following the program. For more information call the library at 472-5948.
