The 1906 caption reads: 'Thorismund crowned on field of battle at Chalons. At the great battle of Chalons [451 AD], Attila, 'the scourge of God,' met his final defeat from the combined Romans and Visigoths. Theodoric, the Visigothic king, was slain in battle, while leading his men in a heroic charge. The Visigoths promptly declared his young son Thorismund king, raising him upon their shields amid all the tremendous uproar of the batle. Then, with Thorismund at their head, they rushed forward to avenge their former leader, and in their fury won the battle.'

This early 1900s illustration shows Woden. The caption: Woden was the chief god of the ancient Germans. This ideal statue-figure represents the mighty god seated on his throne.

In 988, Olaf Tryggvason sailed to England, because an assembly (thing) had been called by Queen Gyda, sister of Olaf Cuaran, King of Dublin. Gyda was a widow and searching for a new husband. A great many men had come, but Gyda singled out Olaf Tryggvason. They were to be married, but another man, Alfvine, took objection, and challenged Olaf and his men to the Scandinavian duel. Olaf and his men fought Alfvine's crew and won every battle, but did not kill any of them; instead, they bound them. Alfvine was told to leave the country and never come back again.

This ancient Assyrian relief shows the god Bel-Merodach (also spelled Marduk), armed with the thunderbolt, doing battle with the tumultuous Tiamat (figure on left). Marduk was all-powerful, a healer, and mediator for humans. Marduk was called upon to save humanity from evil. Tiamat was the symbol of chaos. The struggle between Marduk and Tiamat was a favorite theme for ancient Assyrian artists. It was drawn by Faucher-Gudin to accompany text in a book on ancient Egypt and the Levant by Gaston Maspero. The actual bas-relief is from Nimrud and is preserved in the British Museum.
