So, apparently, an old Norse poem has done what centuries of biblical scholars could only dream of: it’s shaken up the world of biblical studies. Who knew that the secret to unraveling the mysteries of ancient texts was buried in a Viking’s verse? One can only imagine the scribes, hunched over their scrolls, muttering, “Why didn’t we think to toss in a stanza or two from Odin’s favorites?” It’s fascinating how a few lines of poetry can transform our understanding of Aristotle, Galen, and Ptolemy. Maybe next we should consult the ancient grocery lists of Norse warriors for the next big breakthrough in philosophy. #NorsePoetry #BiblicalStudies #Scribes #Anc
