"ELDER EDDA" AS A REFLECTION OF THE MYTHOPOETIC MODEL OF THE UNIVERSE
Our task consists in allocation of fragments of various genres as a part of Eddic Þrymskviða and in attempt of interpretation of their interaction on the basis of the contextual analysis. As a result it is possible to state existence of fragments of three genres - cosmogonic and epistemiologic songs and verbal activity with obvious domination of the first genre, the most sign of which is the emphasis on eschatology determined by a figure of the main character - a giant Þrymr (literally ‘noise’) which name expresses chtonic connotations.
