History regularly brought these two peoples into contact, most prominently with the Viking invasion of Ireland. In the famous 'Second Battle of Moytura', gods such as Lug, Balor, and the Dagda participated in the conflict that distinguished this invasion. Pseudohistory, which consists of both secular and ecclesiastical fictions, arose in this nexus of peoples and myth and spilled over into other contexts such as chronological annals. Scandinavian gods such as Odin, Balder, Thor, and Loki feature in the 'Edda' of Snorri Sturluson and the history of the Danes by Saxo Grammaticus. This volume explores such written works alongside archaeological evidence from earlier periods through fresh approaches that challenge entrenched views. 505 00 $a Machine generated contents note: $t Ymir, Baldr, and the Grand Narrative Arc of Mythological History / $g 13. $t The Nature of the Fomoiri: The Dark Other in the Medieval Irish Imagination / $r Jonas Wellendorf. $g 2. $t Tuatha De and Fomoiri in Cath Maige Tuired / $r Elizabeth A.
