Sexualidade e divindade na Mitologia Nórdica

Authors

Abstract

Como é que os nórdicos antigos viam os seus deuses? Como é que os concebiam e como é que definiam uma divindade? As respostas a estas perguntas podem não ser fáceis, dadas as limitações das fontes existentes, mas podem talvez ser descortinadas pela via pouco óbvia da sexualidade. Isto é, ao se analisar o comportamento sexual dos deuses nórdicos, em particular aquilo que temos por imoral ou impróprio, surge um padrão consistente com identidades divinas e convenções sociais, sugerindo que, longe de ser uma forma cristã de desacreditar panteões pagãos, descrições da conduta sexual podem conter pistas para uma concepção de divindade.
