Mesopotamia?

Is there any reason why Mesopotamia is listed as a "See also" link in this article? It seems random and I was going to remove it, but I wanted to be sure that I wasn't missing some information. WDavis1911 (talk) 02:01, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Annotated Bibliography

[For Class] by Spakr Vindr

Carey, G. & Roberts, J. (Eds.). (1973). Mythology. New York, NY: Wiley Publishing Inc.

This book is a general collection of mythologies, with each mythology getting a section in the book. It contains general information about Norse mythology. It will be a good book to cross-reference some of the information to check the validity of each piece of information obtained.

Daly, K. N. (1991). Norse mythology a to z: A young reader’s companion. New York, NY: Facts on File, Inc.

The book is literally a dictionary of Norse mythology. It’s a glossary of information relating to Norse mythology, from the Aesir, to the Vanir, the Jotunn, up to the events and sagas documenting the mythology. Though it lacks some of the information regarding several individuals, it gives the desired information in a much faster and efficient way by chronicling each entry alphabetically and by cross-referencing the entries.

Kaldera, R. (2003). Jotunheim. Northern-Tradition Shamanism. Retrieved from http://www.northernshamanism.org/shamanic-techniques/journeying/nine-worlds-travel-guide/jotunheim.html

The section dedicated to Jotunheimr on the website contains information about its geography, the places inside Jotunheimr, the time and seasons, etc. Since the organization website is full of information about Jotunheimr, some cross-referencing will be executed before some of the information are used, specifically the places in Jotunheimr.

Penguin Classics. (2008). Sagas of the Icelanders. New York, NY: Penguin Books.

This is a kindle version of the book that contains four sagas of the Icelanders. The last of the listed sagas is the Prose Edda, or known as the Younger Edda, which contains three parts in itself. It heavily deals with many views of Norse mythology. The Edda was authored by Snorri Sturluson. The prologue and the first part of the saga may contain information about Jotunheimr or the happenings that involved the place somehow, as the two parts deal with Norse cosmogony.

Redmond, S-R. (2012). Norse mythology. Farmington Hills, MI: Lucent Books.

This book is an educational guide to Norse mythology. It has a wide range of topics concerning Norse mythology, its people, and the influence it has on the modern world. Norse mythology also gives a general idea of what Norse mythology is and its aspects, gods, creatures, and some of the important events. The events in the book contain some information regarding Jotunheimr, and every bit of them will be used explicitly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spakr Vindr (talk • contribs) 16:25, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rewriting notice

Hi everyone, I rewrote this article a few months back in line with it being a real mess. I now think it is less of a mess. Are you happy with the removing of the request for it to be rewritten? If not, what do you think it needs changing? Ingwina (talk) 06:57, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
