Teutonic Mythology V1 is a comprehensive and scholarly work by Jacob Grimm, one of the most renowned German philologists and folklorists of the 19th century. The book delves into the mythology and legends of the Germanic peoples, including the ancient gods and goddesses, heroes, and monsters that populate their stories. The first volume covers the creation myth, the gods and goddesses of the pantheon, and their interactions with humans. The book is written in a highly academic style, with extensive footnotes and references to primary sources, making it an essential resource for scholars and students of Germanic mythology and folklore. Despite its scholarly nature, the book is also accessible to general readers who are interested in learning about the rich and complex mythology of the Germanic peoples.1883. Other volumes in this set include ISBN number(s): 0766177432, 0766177440, 0766177459. Volume 1 of 4. Jacob Grimm was perhaps the first man who commanded a wide enough view of the whole field of Teutonic languages and literature to be able to bring into focus the scattered facts which show the prevalence of one system of thought among all the Teutonic nations from Iceland to the Danube. In this he was materially aided by his mastery of the true principles of philology, which he was the first to establish on a firm scientific basis, and which enabled him to trace a word with certitude through the strangest disguises. As a storehouse of facts within the special province of Teutonic mythology, and as a clue to the derivation and significance of the names of persons and things in the various versions of myth, this work has never been superseded and perhaps it never can be.
