摘要

人们通常认为Óðinn的渡鸦每天从世界各地收集一般信息并向主人报告，但这项研究认为，它们的主要线人是新近死亡的人(最近被杀害的战士和被绞死的人)，收集的信息不仅是智慧，而且是最终灾难性的Ragnarǫk之战所需的战术情报，在Ragnarǫk之战中，Óðinn的阵亡战士队伍，Valhǫll的Einherjar(在Gylfaginning中与渡鸦在相同的上下文中命名)也将参与。该研究解决了民族智慧的核心问题，即死者(被认为)如何知道活着的人隐藏了什么，以及为什么Snorri与skalds相反，将乌鸦描绘成一幅无害的画面。

The mythological Norse ravens Huginn and Muninn: Interrogators of the newly slain

In preference to the common assumption that Óðinn’s ravens daily gather general information from around the world and report back to their master, this study identifies their principal informants as the newly dead (recently slain warriors and hanged men), and the information gathered not simply wisdom but tactical intelligence needed for the eventual cataclysmic battle of Ragnarǫk, in which Óðinn’s troop of fallen warriors, the Einherjar of Valhǫll (named in Gylfaginning in the same context as the ravens), will also participate. The study addresses the central questions of chthonic wisdom, of how the dead (are presumed to) know what is hidden from the living, and why Snorri, in contrast to the skalds, paints an innocuous picture of the ravens.
