_Loki_. (Page 26.)

It is hardly necessary to point out the parallel between Loki and
Prometheus, also both helper and enemy of the Gods, and agent in their
threatened fall, though in the meantime a prisoner. In character
Loki has more in common with the mischievous spirit described by
Hesiod, than with the heroic figure of Aeschylus. The struggles of
Loki (p. 28) find a parallel in those of the fire-serpent Typhon,
to which the Greeks attributed earthquakes.


_Eclipse Ritual_. (Page 35.)

Mr. Lang, in _Myth, Ritual, and Religion_, (London, 1887) gives
examples of eclipse ritual. Grimm, in the _Teutonic Mythology_,
vol. 2, quotes Finnish and Lithuanian myths about sun-devouring beasts,
very similar to the Fenri myth.


_The Skalds_. (Page 35.)

All the Skaldic verses will be found, with translations, in the
_Corpus Poeticum_.
