Sweden Road Ways: Swedish History:
The history we find so far. Odin as Man or, in a belief system, a God himself, as other manifestations of the deity in other cultures. How to get at a pre-Christian concept when all the records are by Christians with agendas. Tribe of Dan perhaps. Odan. Wotan. Origins. Note, however, that Godan is from the World of Warcraft, or a Japanese belt rank, but perhaps there was a divine revelation to the commenter on Godan. Enjoy, Godan.
Bogomilia. Sigge Fridulfson. Legend, Odin, Leader? Sweden's Founding
Look to Swedish roots in the Caucasus, and a migration led (it is said) by Sigge Fridulfson. He had fought admirably against the invading Romans; then simply went North, in the persona of the god Odin. Or was he Odin?
Bellwether Haiku. Parthenos, Parthenogenesis, Genesis North
Persuasion of the Swedes: role of myth, meet The Gylfaginning. Norse beginnings Big Innings: and the Deception of Gylfi, who went to the gods to find out how Sigge Fridulfson (Fridulfsson) could be so successful. Was he really a god? Whose view survives. Other beginnings in myth: concept of parthenogenesis.
