- The Kenning Game: An Introduction: Kennings are an old Norse poetic device based on the analogy. They're similar to Homeric epithets. Where the Greeks might say "the wine-dark sea" in their epic poetry, the Norse would say "whale road." This of course comes from the analogy "sea is to whale as road is to horse" or something like it. To use the standard shorthand, this becomes sea : whale :: road : horse. The key to the Kenning Game is realising that such an analogy provides four kennings possible (or at least permissible). In this case, we have sea = whale road, whale = sea horse, road = horse sea, horse = road whale. ... Some of these seem a little strange, but we might make sense of them by positing that "road whale" for "horse&qu ot; is the product of a culture of aquatic intelligent beings that ride whales the way we ride horses. Some kennings do come out strangely, but one thing we are after in art is the novel viewpoint.
