…Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett - Charming and enjoyable story. 4/5 Black Beauty by Anna Sewell - Pretty sure this is the first book I ever read that's written from an animal's POV. I liked it. 4/5 The Prose Edda by Snorri Sturluson (Penguin Classic) - I really liked it.

……分开看）。不过还有更多萨迦（saga），只是不属于冰岛人萨迦而已。比如《沃尔松格萨迦》（saga of the Volsungs）。如果你对广义的北欧神话感兴趣，那确实，盖曼（Gaiman）的书非常不错。《散文埃达》（The Prose Edda）和《诗体埃达》（Poetic Edda）是一手文献，读起来也不难。我提到的所有内容（除了盖曼的书）都是企鹅出版的，译本都不错。
…separately). There are more sagas, though. Just not of the Icelanders. For example the saga of the Volsungs. If you are interested in general norse mythology then yes, Gaiman's book is really nice. The Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda are primary sources and not a difficult read. Everything I mentioned (except Gaiman's) is published by Penguin and is a good translation.
In the Prose Edda, Snorri Sturluson describes the Vikings as being descended from Trojans. Much like Virgil claimed the Romans descend from Aeneas (a Trojan prince) in the Aeneid. So Roman (and Greek) influence wouldn't…

……Frances Hodgson Burnett 的《秘密花园》（Garden）——迷人又让人享受的故事。4/5。Anna Sewell 的《黑美人》（Black Beauty）——我很肯定这是我读过的第一本以动物视角写的书。我很喜欢。4/5。Snorri Sturluson 的《散文埃达》（The Prose Edda，企鹅经典版）——我非常喜欢。帮我更深入地了解了一点北欧神话。4.5/5。Jia Jiang 的《被拒的学问》（Rejection Proof）——我今年早些时候读过；讲的是一个家伙……

在《散文埃达》（Prose Edda）中，Snorri Sturluson 把维京人描述为特洛伊人的后裔。这很像维吉尔在《埃涅阿斯纪》中声称罗马人是埃涅阿斯（一位特洛伊王子）的后代。所以罗马（和希腊）的影响并不会……

……你唯一需要的来源。如果不这么做就会被视为异端，在当时基督教学者将异教神明重构为邪恶巫师或恶魔之类的做法很普遍。在《散文埃达》（Prose Edda）中，Snorri Sturluson 声称诸神是特洛伊英雄的人类后裔。同样很有可能的是，对“光之精灵”和“暗之精灵”（基本上就是天使和恶魔）的描述，以及诸神黄昏（天启）……

……诗歌。基督教掌权后，奥丁在神话中的重要性持续上升（毕竟神话是由为贵族讲故事的诗人们延续下来的），等到 Snorri Sturluson 撰写《散文埃达》（The Prose Edda）时，他就成了我们熟悉的众神之父、众神之王等等。
