A close reading of the myths in the Poetic Edda and Snorra Edda shows that horses were seen as a bridge between worlds–a main form of transportation through the gaps between the living and the dead, between mythological worlds, and even beyond the boundaries of reality.
Nákvæmur lestur á goðsögum í eddukvæðum og í Snorra Eddu sýnir að hestar brúuðu bilið milli heima–þeir voru eitt helsta samgöngutækið milli heima lifenda og látinna, milli aðskildra goðsögulegra heima og jafnvel út fyrir mörk raunveruleikans.
