Are you looking for an analysis of a specific theme that appears in many myths and folk tales, a particular story, or of a book that proposes a broad theory by which myths can be explained?

This might have useful footnotes and references to major treatments and loci classici

You people are parasites.

I would recommend some classical music too, Wagner in particular. His most famous work is based on a 13th Century work called The Song of the Nibelungs, or Nibelungenlied.

Wagner's music is overrated. You like the Germanic aesthetics associated with Wagner, that's probably all.

Wagnar's music is unparalleled in complexity, range, emotion and depth. You are fully aware of this. You hate him because he was a powerful antisemite and a proud German nationalist.

I don't mind that. You just proved my point though. Wagner's music is mid. Cope and seethe, fatherless dog.

Your wignat aesthetics suck. You are an ugly person drawn to ugly things. Get better soon or you will never amount to anything meaningful.

no wonder the white race is dying

Ellis Davidson's gods and myths of northern Europe was pretty useful. Some of the takes are a bit dated or incorrect

Also as you can see literature is dominated by effeminate Catholics like this anon. So the study of European religions, inherently masculine and native to the soul, terrify them. Wouldn't be surprised if you get banned for being off topic op

Any professor of music will tell you that Wagner is one of the most influential and inventive composers to ever live, and any of the major artists of the late 19th/early 20th century would attest to his greatness as a consummate artist in drama, poetry, music or even in philosophy. In Search of Lost Time and Ulysses quite simply wouldn't exist without his influence.

You underrate him because you associate him with 'le Nazi aesthetics' and have no further knowledge of him.

I rate him the way I do because I've actually listened to his music.

There's no reason to fear something that, despite it's inherent nature and masculinity, not only has failed but is consistently failing for whatever reason- lack of virtue, lack of organization, lack of wit, too little, too late. There's no reason to fear a "white male" uprising, only "lone nut" incidents and Charlottesvilles, which are mostly just leveraged for fear porn, not actually momentous in themselves
