History regularly brought these two peoples into contact, most prominently with the viking invasion of Ireland. In the famous Second Battle of Mag Tuired, gods such as Lug, Balor, and the Dagda participated in the conflict that distinguished this invasion. Pseudohistory, which consists of both secular and ecclesiastical fictions, arose in this nexus of peoples and myth and spilled over into other contexts such as chronological annals. Scandinavian gods such as Odin, Balder, Thor, and Loki feature in the Edda of Snorri Sturluson and the history of the Danes by Saxo Grammaticus. This volume explores such written works alongside archaeological evidence from earlier periods through fresh approaches that challenge entrenched views. 410 0$aEarly medieval North Atlantic. 606 $aCelts$xHistory 607 $aScandinavia$xHistory 610 $aMythology, Vikings, Irish Pagan Gods, Saxo Grammaticus, Snorri Sturluson. 615 0$aCelts$xHistory. 676 $a936.4 700 $aLyle$b Emily B.$01655076 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816305403321 996 $aMyth and history in Celtic and Scandinavian traditions$94007273 997 $aUNINA
