Wow. What an amazing, well put together presentation. I don't know if so much info made everyone's head spin, or it just answered all the questions people were going to ask. I do think that he was born to teach. Can't wait for the next 43 slides!
That discussion about troll vs Finn at around 18:25 was fascinating. I remember reading The Saga of Gísli Súrsson and it is mentioned that one of his ancestors has the nickname "Half-Troll". So from this I am wondering, would he have been half-Sami? Certainly interesting to think about. Will have to watch the rest of this video later.
What a fascinating conversation concerning the mythos of dragons in the sagas and elsewhere. Rober's dedication to this topic and its connections throughout literature and poetry, especially in the modern day, helps to keep ancient, high, and excellent ideals alive. Loved every second of this. Keep them coming.
Mr. Cutrer, Bobby, it’s great to see you are doing so well. Especially because you followed your dream and became successful in a subject your were always interested in. I hope all is well with you and your family. Playing Secret of Mana until 2am on Friday nights is still one of my favorite memories. I am always regretful of how our friendship came to an end. Godspeed
A "Lindorm" (swedish) is a dragonlike, small or giant, snake found i nordic folksongs, sagas and myths from the viking age until nowadays. "Orm" is one word for snake in swedish. It can be good or bad. It was said it lived under a "lind" tree.(Tilia cordata in latin). I have heard several old songs about "lindormen".
@@eiksynd No problem! There's a lot of interesting outlawry literature that seems to share kinship between England and Iceland. Grettis saga and Hereward the Wake are similarly "entwined"
I'm happy to have found Dr.JacksonCrawford and his TH-cam-Channel. Besides my studies for physics, old norse and Scandinavians history and their languages are a good side-hobby. Thank You for your excellent videos!
Something mentioned about the blood of dragons and Ivar got me thinking; I was born with club feet and (if accurate) my genealogy possibly goes back to Snake in the eye. Wondering about the prevalence of genetic conditions in the blood lines.
Would love to get a like to that global approach to dragons. It is something that has fascinated me for a long time Edit: I think I found it “the dragon and the rainbow” by Robert Blust.
Well they really are not particularly dangerous, the risk of an allergic reaction to the venom is considered more severe than the effects of the venom itself.
Ormr became ymir through christian writing or indo desecration? Does it matter? Urmi became ymir by rearranging? As strokes are drawn? Then a u becomes a y? Runic? Ah I gotta listen to the rest.
Weeeell, his etymology for 'snake' and 'adder' are all over the place, neither of them is related to 'sniffing' or Latin 'natare'. Also his interpretation of the myths is soo broad 🤔

I love the discussion of the poetry of skaldic poetry. An amazing show. I studied OE poetry so this speaks to me.
YES. More please!! Dragons 🐉 ❤ he must come back

The Scandinavians, despite living in a place with few snakes, talked a lot about snakes. Very interesting discussion.
I wonder if it has to do with stories of things their sailors saw on their raids and expeditions.
snakes are overall common, they just arent very diverse
I would love to see the other 43 slides as well =) Great content, thank you both drengrs!
Love this subject and appreciate you giving it a long video. Great discussion. Look forward to more.
Note: also enjoy the shorts.
This is a amazing! So much good information.
This whole interview was fantastic! Very good information, and I got a good laugh at the bar fight poem example.
great video 👍👍

Interesting that the Yggdrasil had a snake under it too. Looks like there was a tree/snake concept.
Great video! I have wondered for a long time, about the connection between Ragnars family and snakes.
Nice shoutout to the Bakshi Balrog
🙏thank you!
Very interesting!!!
The Helm of Terror/fish thing might be due to fish also having unblinking eyes
naðr is not a borrowing from Latin, it’s inherited! 31:14
18:50 What saga is mentioned here? The one about Robin Hood.
Áns saga bogsveigis
@@ThidrekrPoGo Thanks alot

Thank you, good that you took on the serpents and the dragons. Dragons in the form of drake or lindorms were reported well into the 20th C in Sweden.
Like it !
Is the dragon slain by Ragnar Lothbrook a 3rd dragon in Norse mythology, or is it a duplicate of Fafnir?
I'm happy to have found Dr.JacksonCrawford and his TH-cam-Channel.

Thank You for your excellent videos!
clearly you have excellent tastes!
Which scaldic poem was it? 26:35
Fascinating, seems strange to see the more serpentine style for dragons in the west, except for sea snakes

In Latin the word for boneless can also mean feared from what I understand

Naðr, the same as English adder and German Natter. The Latin word natrix is a cognate, not a borrowing.
The Devonshire's in the peak District have a snake in their heraldic emblem maybe to link them to aristocracy.
Wales “hold my ale”.
Not dangerous snakes according to an Australian.
Well they really are not particularly dangerous, the risk of an allergic reaction to the venom is considered more severe than the effects of the venom itself.
