S1 Episode 19: Grímnismál (Part 2)

Between Two Ravens: A Norse Mythology Podcast

This week is part 2 of our episode on the Poetic Edda poem, Grímnismál . This week we discuss stanzas 21-54 of the poem, and how often Odin seems to take a brake in delivering his cosmic lore in order to ask the Valkyries and other gods for a little help (or a drink). Odin eventually reveals who he is and delivers the list of names he has been called. Do we all want to be remembered by all of our own names?
