About this book

In the world of the Old Norse gods, Heimdallr represents a many-faceted and opaque figure. Researchers have failed until now to satisfactorily resolve questions about his character and function. Sebastian Cöllen shows that Heimdallr was less disparate than has often been assumed. He served an important structural function in Norse mythology, embodying ideas of order and lineage, among others.
