Three Views Of Faerie In C.S. Lewis's "The Queen Of Drum", Joe R. Christopher Oct 1999

King Arthur 'Lite': Dilution Of Mythic Elements In Arthurian Film, Eleanor M. Farrell Oct 1999

King Arthur 'Lite': Dilution Of Mythic Elements In Arthurian Film, Eleanor M. Farrell

Balder The Beautiful: Aslan's Norse Ancestor In The Chronicles Of Narnia, Salwa Khoddam Oct 1999

Balder The Beautiful: Aslan's Norse Ancestor In The Chronicles Of Narnia, Salwa Khoddam

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Because of Lewis’s typological approach to his use of sources, it is possible to see Aslan not just as a straight allegory of Christ but as embodying elements from other mythic systems; in this case, Balder, a figure from Norse mythology. This is supported by Lewis’s known love for northern myths and his particular reaction to the lines about Balder from Longfellow’s “Tegnér’s Drapa.”
