Episode 5 - The Flow of Time and the Birth of Sleipnir
Manage episode 333248773 series 3361186
How does time work in mythology? Is it always present, cyclical, or normal and linear? More importantly, was Loki once impregnated by a horse? In this episode, we'll correct a few common misconceptions about Norse mythic time and dig into the origin of Óðinn's famous steed, Sleipnir. There are some sensitive topics in this one, but there's no reason why we can't discuss historical interpretations without a little modern sensitivity.
