| Summary | "Öfversigt af Nordiska Mytologien" by Daniel Anton Sundén is a scholarly account of Nordic mythology written in the late 19th century. This work systematically presents the myths of the Nordic peoples, explaining their ancient religious beliefs and how these relate to the natural world and the human experience. Sundén explores the origins, structures, and meanings of key mythological concepts, figures, and narratives, drawing on various historical sources and interpretations. At the start of the work, the author sets the stage by defining mythology as a systematic representation of a people's myths and their views of the divine. He discusses the origins of myths in human imagination and the role they play in explaining natural phenomena and human existence. Sundén introduces the foundational elements of Nordic mythology, including the creation narrative that begins with the void "Ginnungagap" and explains how the cosmos was formed from primordial elements, leading to the emergence of significant figures such as the giants and gods, particularly Odin and his sons. The opening portion highlights the interplay between these mythological figures, the natural world, and the philosophical implications of their stories in shaping the spiritual and cultural identity of the Nordic peoples.
