'Jacob Grimm...was one of the greatest scholars of the modern world....Among the works that have given Grimm his reputation are the monumental dictionary of the German language, the folk tales that he collected with his brother, which have made his name a household word, and the present work, the Deutsche Mythologie. All these studies still remain the definitive bases for further research into their fields....this work compiles and organizes just about everything known about Teutonic mythology: ancient rites, beliefs, dieties, heroes, literature, statuary, temples; and the survival of the old gods and customs into modern day proper- and place-names, superstitions, games, curses, idiomatic expressions, names of herbs, characters and events in folk tales....'
