Some of us may look back and see a more romantic age, while others will see a minefield of strict rules and stuffy protocol. Either way you look at it, it was worlds away from what dating is in the 21st century.

I can still vividly remember being twelve years old. I remember sitting in middle school science class. The teacher liked to show old real-to-real science films left over from the 60’s and 70’s. As we sat and watched these movies the teacher would rush over to the projector and stop the film. She had to explain that the information just presented in the film was outdated and now known to be untrue. As my twelve year old self sat there listening to the teacher explain this I looked down at the science text book that was sitting on the table in front of me.

This wonderfully romantic tale is only found in the paper copies of The Eddas, an unnamed collection of Norse works. Snorri, an Icelandic historian and poet, doesn’t mention it elsewhere in his works. It is probably not much older than the 17th century.
