Title:
Olympus lies in Scandinavia – how the early modern 16th- and 17th-century Scandinavian writers appropriated the world of Greek myths
Creator:
Szelągowska, Krystyna
Description:
The classical heritage played a significant role in early modern historical writing, shaping both the message and the narrative form. The inclusion of Greek myths served as a means to support the vision of a glorious past, thereby weaving national history into the broader tapestry of world history. In Scandinavian literature, four mythical stories were particularly influential: those of the Hyperboreans, the Cimmerians, Atlantis, and Odysseus’s travels. Central to this new interpretation was the effort to locate ancient sites and figures within Scandinavian territory.
