Viktor Rydberg was one of the great Swedish authors of the late 19th century, his book Fädernas gudasaga (1878) [The Saga of the Gods of Our Ancestors] a primary source of knowledge of Nordic mythology for many Swedes of the time, often serving as a Christmas gift or a bachelor's exam in wealthy or intellectual families. Rydberg takes up the Nordic myths known from medieval sources such as Snorri's Edda and the poetic Edda and tells them in a fresh and modern way to a young audience, as indicated by the subtitle "Berättad för ungdomen"[Told for the Youth] in a national spirit. As he points out in his preface "Till läsaren"[To the reader], he does not only tell the myths as he found them in medieval sources, but he reconstructs a narrative unit that he supposes to have discovered: "För första gången öfverlämnas härmed i den svenska ungdomens händer vår folkstams myter som ettt sammanhängande helt. In närmare undersökning har visat, att de bildat en fortlöpande saga, hvari hvarje myt, äfven om den i sin uppkomst var fristående, blifvit införlifvad som länk i en kedja, hvilken börjar med världens, gudarnes och människosläktets upphof och ändar med Ragnarök och världsförnyelsen. "(Rydberg 1906, p. 311) The text is structured around 3 main chapters with 40 subchapters that include a tripartite story: "Världsskapelsen"[The Creation of the World], "II. urtidens fridsåldern"[The Age of Peace in Early Times], II. "Syndens och ofridens tidsåldern"[The Age of Sin and Discord].
