These pre-Christian myths recorded in medieval Iceland expound an indigenous Icelandic theory on volcanism that revolves around the activities of supernatural beings, such as the fire-demon Surtr and the gods Odin and Thor. Before the Icelanders were introduced to Christianity and its teachings, they formulated an indigenous theory of volcanism on basis of their traditional mythology much like other indigenous peoples across the world.0. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO; viewed March 18, 2021) 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Volcanoes|zIceland|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85144267|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 7 Volcanoes.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1168844 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE|xFolklore & Mythology.|2bisacsh 651 7 Iceland.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1210572 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 830 0 Borderlines (Leeds, England)|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2019152320 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2802617|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
