>read Norse myth>expect wall-to-wall Thor fighting epic battles>actually it's lots of spooky shit about rune magic, Thor getting into silly situations, and heroes dying tragicallyI was surprised but not disappointed. The Poetic Edda is pretty cool.
I prefer the "historical" accounts of heros and warriors fighting draugrs and stuff like that. I love mounds and undeads
>>25177362That shit's cool, I'm definitely reading some sagas now. Heidrek's saga looks good and has apparently has burial mounds.
>>25177362Why did you put scare quotes in historical? Happen those things did.

>>25177406My bad, go back to rest
>>25177563Yeah but he gets resurrected when the world's remade, that's pretty dope
