O knihe
Gothic Myths and Legends is a modern creative retelling of the surviving ancient Gothic stories and histories as preserved in the writings of ancient Roman historians and Norse sagas. These are combined with some of the author's own narrative and poetry. The stories have been thoughtfully woven together into one long tale of the Gothic gods, kings and heroes. The story of the Goths is told in two parts: the "Gude Spill" or Story of the Gods begins with the creation of the world and the divine origins of the Goths, and the "Amale Spill" or Story of the Amali line of Gothic kings, as well as their Balthic, Longobardic and Anglo-Saxon descendants. Also included is a commentary on the Gude Spill which explains how the primary sources have been woven together, and an English translation of "The Battle of the Goths and Huns" from the Hervarar Saga.
