Inspiration and insanity do have one thing 11 . Their phenomena, like
dreams, come from a part of the mind which is beyond conscious control. Many accounts
of how scientific discoveries were made, problems solved, poems created or tunes
discovered affirm that the new idea was not consciously thought up, but “came” to the
discoverer. Often, inspiration seems most active when the creator himself is passive.
Occasionally, solutions to problems or new inventions originate in dreams; but, far more
commonly, they appear when the creator is in a state of reverie or daydream, letting his
imagination wander where it will.
(註1)The division of the mind into two parts, one considered rational and executive,
12 irrational and passive, long precedes the division into ego and unconscious
which Freud made 13 . The Latin word genius itself signified an in-dwelling life
spirit which dwelt in the head. It was believed to 14 the form of a snake, and to be
the part of a man which survived death. Both the word genius and its equivalent in Greek, the
psyche, could equally well be replaced by some modern phrase, like the “creative unconscious.”

At the end of the 8th century Scandinavia had hardly more than two million
inhabitants. But from the beginning of the 9th century its population began to increase
significantly. There were several reasons for this: on the one hand the climate was getting
better; it became warmer and thus harvests were becoming more abundant, the people
better fed and stronger. The mortality rate of the old and infants during winter had also
decreased. As the years went by, unoccupied Scandinavian territory became harder and
harder to find.
To these demographic factors certain features of Viking life must be added: such as
polygamy, which produced a large number of children, the obligation for young men to
seek their fortune elsewhere, and Viking laws, which used exile as a punishment for
criminals. There were, therefore, many reasons to take to the sea and chance one’s arm
beyond one’s native shores.The Vikings were a bold people, who welcomed risks and who had a passion for
voyaging abroad. In the 11th century, not far from their coasts, a great trade route was
opening up, passing through the ports of Frisia (now Holland) and the Rhine valley. This
route became the crossroads of all commercial exchange in northern Europe.
The Vikings, attracted by all the goods which were beginning to pass so close to them,
took more and more interest in the trade. Eventually this interest led to piracy and plunder.
