Explore captivating myths of the Norse Gods and heroes
The stories from Norse mythology linger in our culture today. Four days of our week are named after members of the Norse pantheon (Tyr, Woden [Odin], Thor, and Frigg). Wagner’s Ring Cycle has kept one version of one of the great Norse stories alive in the minds of music lovers. Fans of modern fantasy will find many echoes of the Norse tales as well. Something in these old and puzzling stories still has the power to move and unsettle us and to inspire new acts of creation.
This audiobook will give you a brief introduction to some of the best-known myths found in the primary sources. This audiobook includes a glossary of names in case you need help keeping track of a rather large cast of characters. Enjoy your explorations!
Within this audiobook, you'll find the following Norse myths and topics covered:
- The creation of the worlds
- The building of Asgard
- Why Odin has one eye and Tyr has one hand

Really solid foundation of the old tales. Perfect for kids, I'd go as far to say it's good enough to be an effective book for adults to learn a brief but proper understanding of norse myth before launching in to the deep stuff.Great book.

I have found it very useful, to my own research. It is easy to understand, and no special knowledge is required to understand it. But I warn I cant see how anyone will be able to stop at just listening one book on this topic. Very entertaining and full of knowledge.Best book of Norse Mythology
