More Anderson-Gaiman Parallels

In Poul Anderson's works, we find:

Norse myths in general and Odin in particular;

 

many Biblical references;

 

the Shakespearean Oberon and Titania in A Midsummer Tempest.

 

In Neil Gaiman's The Sandman: The Kindly Ones (New York, 1996), we find that:

 

Odin and Thor bind Loki beneath the Earth (10, p. 6, panel 3);

 

the Greek Furies kill the version of the Biblical Abel who resides in Gaiman's fictional/mythical realm, the Dreaming (p. 8, panel 5);

fairies dance before Titania (p. 9, panel 1).

 

Other connections:

 

the caption in p. 9, panel 1, states that Faerie is governed by custom (see Infiltrating Hell);

 

in p. 9, panel 3, a fairy says, "We are the wild," which reminded me at least of James Ching's description of Ythri (see here). (See also Wild Wind And Wild Magic.)
