Read From the Earth to the Shadows Page 37


  3 "The Great Bull" is the common name for the bull centaur Gugalanna.

  4 Frigg is the mother of Baldur and the wife of Odin; this letter was written over a thousand years before her long slumber.

  5 "Sight" here refers to precognition and Frigg's ability to see all of time.

  6 The actual word Odin used here was mar ilu, which means "sons of the gods," but I and the other scholars at Ravenswood Academy thought the word god without the modifier of either demi or Vanir would be more appropriate.

  7 This is the first known writing of the official tenets of the Valkyries' role with the gods and Eralim.

  8 Before becoming a prominent figure in Kurnugia, Hades lived in Vanaheimr with the other Vanir gods.

  9 Odin only specifies a "giant scaled beast," but other contextual clues suggest this is a reference to dinosaurs, although other extinct reptilian-like beasts cannot be ruled out.
