Early-Medieval Frisian Mythology | 600-1300 AD (Lecture 2023)

The Frisians were a Germanic-speaking people living in the coastal area of the Netherlands and Germany. Before the conversion to Christianity, a long process beginning after the Frankish Conquest of Frisia, the Frisians worshipped a series of gods, likely closely related to the Norse gods known from Icelandic Mythology like Odin, Thor, Frey and others. Unlike the Eddas, there is no large collection of mythology from Frisia. But is there any Frisian Mythology remaining?

We will be hosting another Oslo Student Conference on Pre-Christian Religions in the North in Oslo on the 10th of April 2024. Follow our Facebook Page for more information: Raid the Merch Market:
