Norse mythology is the body of mythology of the North Germanic people stemming from Norse paganism and continuing after the Christianization of Scandinavia and into the Scandinavian folklore of the modern period. The northernmost extension of Germanic mythology, Norse mythology consists of tales of various deities, beings, and heroes derived from numerous sources from both before and after the pagan period, including medieval manuscripts, archaeological representations, and folk tradition.Numerous gods are mentioned in the source texts such as the hammer-wielding, humanity-protecting god Thor, who relentlessly fights his foes; the one-eyed, raven-flanked god Odin, who craftily pursues knowledge throughout the worlds and bestowed among humanity the runic alphabet; the beautiful, seiðr-working, feathered cloak-clad goddess Freyja who rides to battle to choose among the slain; the vengeful, skiing goddess Skaði, who prefers the wolf howls of the winter mountains to the seashore; the powerful god Njörðr, who may calm both sea and fire and grant wealth and land; the god Freyr, whose weather and farming associations bring peace and pleasure to humanity; the goddess Iðunn, who keeps apples that grant eternal youthfulness; the mysterious god Heimdallr, who is born of nine mothers, can hear grass grow, has gold teeth, and possesses a resounding horn; the jötunn Loki, who brings tragedy to the gods by engineering the death of the goddess Friggs beautiful son Baldr; and numerous other deities.And also This app will serves you with the story of Ragnarok, the end of the world!*****Disclaimer/Legal Notice*****We do not own any of these materials in this app. We made this app to help people reading Norse Mythology easier, if there is any trademark or copyright violation that does not follow within the Fair Use, please contact us and we will take action immediately.

Not anything I thought it would have been like

Chris Sandoval

Not accurate at all.

Sarah McKay

The authors of this application have made the same mistake as with the one about Greek mythology. Bad spelling and terrible translations. For example "Mjölnir" is explained as meaning: thunder!!! ("mjöl" = flour in swedish, on account of the hammer turning everything to dust (flour) good for coarse reference, maybe.
