Journey to Valhalla: The Lasting Influence of the Old Norse
World:e Lecture, with readings by Robert Aubry Davis |
| |
Odin, Thor, and Loki are just some of the gods from Norse and Scandinavian mythology who still echo in our lexicon and stories today. In this evening seminar, scholar Marjorie Burns (professor of English, Portland State University) looks at Norse mythology, its pantheon, ideas about creation, and its pessimistic expectations. Her presentation is followed by readings of selected stories by Robert Aubry Davis (host of public radio's Millennium of Music).
