The Dream of the Rood |
The Dream of the Rood is an Anglo-Saxon poem about the crucifixion of Christ. Although it deals with this very Christian subject, it's use of words are very Heathen in it's manner and outlook. The crucifixion in the Dream of the Rood also resembles the death of Baldr in Norse myth, which could indicate that the Dream of the Rood is a Christianisation of this Germanic Heathen myth. |
