“There’s always a prose section in these poems.”
We’ve come full circle to the topic that almost broke the podcast!
Other topics include Darien spending way too long trying to figure out why Gunilla turned into a swan, Rick Riordan skipping over a very important detail in the Helgi/Hunding “rivalry,” poetic devices that may be responsible for the rumor of valkyries riding on wolves, an uncommon example of incense in Norse mythology, Darien explaining why it’s silly for Gunilla to have turned into a swan, DJ giving a really good reason why Gunilla turned into a swan, and the first example of Swedish literature.
Spoilers for SMITE, Thor Ragnarok, Soul Music by Terry Pratchett, Warhammer: AOS, God of War (2018), God of War Ragnarok, Richard Wagner’s The Valkyrie, and “What’s Opera, Doc?”
