Stories from Northern Myths by Emilie K. Baker
"Stories from Northern Myths" by Emilie K. Baker is a collection of mythological tales written in the early 20th century. This compilation delves into the rich folklore of Norse mythology, recounting the exploits of gods, giants, and legendary heroes. The stories explore themes of creation, conflict, and the relationships between gods and humans, appealing to readers interested in ancient myths and their timeless narratives. The opening of the collection sets the stagefor the enchanting world of Northern myths, starting with a vivid description of the creation of the universe from chaos. It introduces the primordial realms of Niflheim and Muspelheim and their elemental forces that lead to the birth of Ymir, the ice giant. From his body, the gods Odin, Vile, and Ve shape the world, creating earth, sea, and sky. The narrative continues to establish the relationships between gods and challenges they face from frost-giants, away from the familiar earthly domains, immersing readers in the profound and captivating lore of Norse mythology.
