• Gods and beings

  Æsir, Vanir, jötnar, dwarves, elves, norns, valkyries - who they are and where they meet us in the text.

• Places

  The nine worlds, Yggdrasil, Ginnungagap, Valhöll, Hel - the mythic geography.

• Sources and manuscripts

  Codex Regius, Codex Upsaliensis, Codex Wormianus, Flateyjarbók - the manuscripts behind the text.
