Amelia sighed when she hadn't been acknowledged for her well thought out answer before. She then shut her eyes, wincing at Shaw's sneezing and was unsure if it was because of her dislike of kids or in her old age, she was just always sick with a cold. Sighing, she opened her eyes when she realized another question had been asked. Having missed the question, she heard Evie and Ellie talk about Norse Mythology, as she realized that must have been the topic. Oops!
About to raise her hand, the Slytherin Prefect answered first with a long winded spiel of some nonsense most likely... and poetry too? Suck up... she thought, glaring at the Prefect for a moment before turning back to the professor.
Amelia raised her hand finally and then answered, "Some aspects of Norse Mythology have been passed into Scandinavian folklore and have survived to modern day. Others have recently been reinvented or reconstructed as Germanic neopaganism. The mythology remains an inspiration in literature, including 'Eric Brighteyes' by H Rider Haggard and several works by Alan Garner. 'The Ballad of the White Horse' includes references to Norse gods although they are portrayed in a negative light. The ballad portrays Catholicism as the true religion and the Norse religion as pagan. Other writers who tangibly draw on the Nordic pantheon include L Sprague de Camp, David Lindsay, C S Lewis, Lord Dunsany, JRR Tolkien, Douglas Adams and Jo Rowling.
Norse Mythology also remains an inspiration to on stage productions and movies, as well."
