Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fascinating origins of the Roland statues so prevalent across northern Europe, particularly in medieval Germany, through the lens of the well-known medieval epic poem, The Song of Roland. The author draws on a wealth of historical, mythological, and linguistic sources to argue that the Roland statues represent a syncretic fusion of a pre-Christian Germanic sun god named Hruodo with the legendary hero Roland from The Song of Roland. The book delves into the mythological significance of the statues, their role in Germanic religious practices and festivals, and their broader cultural and historical context. By examining the Roland statues as a reflection of both pagan and Christian beliefs, the author reveals their profound significance in understanding the evolution of Germanic mythology and the complex interplay between myth, history, and literature in the Middle Ages.
