There is,\u0000 however, a hidden intervening generation between the third and fourth\u0000 generations which becomes visible when attention is paid to the succeeding\u0000 reigns of Balder and Høther, taken along with the birth of Rolf Krake\u0000 from father-daughter incest in Saxo which means that Rolf’s mother\u0000 belongs to the generation after his father. This chapter argues that this\u0000 intervening generation corresponds to that of the young gods in a proposed\u0000 Indo-European theogony and is that of the death of Balder, while the fifth\u0000 generation is that of the mortal avenger.","PeriodicalId":306239,"journal":{"name":"Myth and History in Celtic and Scandinavian Traditions","volume":"183 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131259695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
