Norse mythology
Norse mythology is the body of myths from North Germanic peoples, primarily the Vikings, during the Viking Age (c. 790-1100 AD). It features gods like Odin, Thor, and Loki and a complex cosmology with realms like Asgard (home of gods), Midgard (our world), and Hel (the underworld). The mythological stories center on creation, battles, and the eventual apocalyptic event called Ragnarok. The Eddas and sagas are the primary sources for these tales. Norse mythology had a significant influence on the culture, religion, and literature of the Vikings, and it continues to capture the fascination of many today through various forms of media.
