Sinopse

Viktor Rydberg's "Teutonic Mythology" is a monumental three-volume exploration of Northern European myths, encapsulating the vast tapestry of Teutonic traditions, folklore, and spiritual beliefs. Rydberg employs a critical and comparative literary style, deftly intertwining etymological analysis with narrative retellings that resonate with both historical scholarship and poetic expression. The work stands as a seminal contribution to the study of mythology, offering a comprehensive examination of gods, giants, and heroes that shaped the cultural identity of the Germanic peoples while situating these figures within a broader Indo-European mythological context. Rydberg, a Swedish poet, philosopher, and scholar, was deeply influenced by the Romantic movement and its celebration of national heritage and folklore. His dedication to reviving and cataloging the myths of his ancestors led him to write this exhaustive study, in which he sought to reclaim and illuminate the spiritual legacy of the Teutonic past. His academic rigor and passionate advocacy for cultural understanding reflect a broader yearning in the 19th century to reconnect with pre-Christian roots in contemporary society. "Teutonic Mythology" is an essential read for anyone interested in the foundations of Western mythology and its echoes in modern literature. Scholars, students, and enthusiasts alike will find Rydberg's rich narrative and analytical insights invaluable as they embark on a journey through the enchanting and often complex world of Teutonic myths.

    The need to eat and drink is a biological necessity for everyone, but along with that, food and drink are often at the very center of social life. This was no different in ancient Greece, but, if anything, the social importance placed on food and wine in the Greek world was even more pronounced and had profound consequences for the rest of the world. As one modern historian aptly put it, “How classical Athens was fed is not a matter of marginal importance. Nothing less than the material base of a brilliant civilization is at issue.” 
    	Indeed, it was through the ability to create a food surplus that the ancient Greeks were able to establish their poleis and, from these, go on to develop the political and social structures that built the backbone of Western Civilization. Drinking for pleasure, as opposed to simply meeting the body´s requirement for hydration, was so crucial in Greece that a couple historians noted, “In a way, the study of the classics is the study of the consumption of alcohol.” While this assertion is an oversimplification, there is no doubt that alcohol played a crucial role in the evolution of Greek culture.
