Aprašymas
The Eddic poem VafÃrúðnismál serves as a representation of early pagan beliefs or myths and as a myth itself; the poem performs both of these functions, acting as a poetic framework and functioning as sacred myth. In this study, the author looks closely at the journey of the Norse god Ãðinn to the hall of the ancient and wise giant VafÃrúðnir, where Ãðinn craftily engages his adversary in a life-or-death contest in knowledge.
