	Station Information - Eschatology
		Eschatology literally means the study of the eschaton, the end of all things.
		Eschatology also refers to the study of general afterlife concepts of other religions, especially the western monotheistic faiths.
		In this broader sense, eschatology can refer to the messiah, a messianic era, the afterlife, and the soul in religions which have such beliefs.

	Ragnarok - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the Viking warrior societies, dying in battles is a fate to admire, and this is carried over into the worship of a pantheon in which the gods themselves will one day be overthrown at Ragnarok.
		The word Ragnarok is derived from the Old Norse word Ragnarök, which consists of two parts: ragna is the genitive plural of regin ("gods" or "ruling powers"), while rök means "fate", etymologically related to English "reach".
		Ragnarok does not mean "Twilight of the Gods"; that phrase is the translation of Götterdämmerung, which, in turn, is a German mistranslation of the word Ragnarok, arising from a confusion between Old Norse rök ("fate", cognate to wreak, wreck) and rökkr ("twilight, darkness", cognate to erebos).

	Norse mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Norse or Scandinavian mythology refers to the pre-Christian religion, beliefs and legends of the Scandinavian people, including those who settled on Iceland, where the written sources for Norse mythology were assembled.
		This priestly role of the king was in line with the general role of godi, who was the head of a kindred group of families (for this social structure, see norse clans), and who administered the sacrifices.
		Norse mythology also influenced Richard Wagner's use of literary themes from it to compose the four operas that comprise Der Ring des Nibelungen (The Ring of the Nibelung).

		The idea of a double in human form is not found in Norse literature; the nearest to it is the story of the mysterious woman with large eyes who encountered Guðríðr in Greenland, and told her her name was Guðríðr too.
		A survey of the eschatological side of Norse literature renders one thing at least clear—that the Norse mind, in the literature as we have it, does not readily turn to develop imaginative and spiritual conceptions of the life after death.
		Symbolism in Norse hands is so well done that it ceases to be symbolism, and becomes a vivid and convincing picture which is sufficient in itself, and is accepted accordingly by the editors.

	Thespis: Ritual Myth and Drama in the Ancient Near East
		We propose to show that a number of Ancient Near Eastern myths usually regarded as mere flights of imaginative fancy are really literary articulations of that Seasonal Pattern which has been described in the preceding pages, reflecting in their several episodes the successive elements of a ritual program.
		In the light of the ancient and primitive material presented in this volume, it is apparent that the objections raised by Classicists against the basic contention of the Murray-Harrison-Cornford theory rest on far too narrow a basis.
		While it may be true that within the Greek field the evolution of drama was not quite as those scholars have supposed, and while many of their particular inferences from later forms may indeed be open to doubt, the ultimate origin of the genre as a whole is now surely beyond question.
