Mixed Lecture/Discussion • Low intensity
Note: This mini module is a special small-group experience consisting of four 1-hour sessions—one session per week—for the cost of 1 Token. Since this mini module is designed only for a small and intimate group, it will be capped at 4 students.

This mini module aims to explore the historical and literary complexities of the medieval collection of Norse myths known as the Poetic Edda focusing on the poems that mainly deal with cosmogony and Odin's quests. Bilingual approach - texts both in Old Norse and English translation.

Week 1: Völuspá (The Prophecy of the Seeress)
Week 2: Hávamál (The Sayings of the High One)
Week 3: Vafþrúðnismál (The Ballad of Vafthrudnir)
Week 4: Grímnismál (The Ballad of Grimnir)

Note: All sessions will be live recorded and shared with all enrolled students afterward for review and to allow those who cannot attend live to still participate in the class.
