Description What is Norse mythology? In its simplest form, it is the foundation of the pre-Christian faith that was once shared by many nations across northern Europe.
These common beliefs were descended from the same Indo-European roots as classical mythology but they evolved into a form unique to themselves.
The primary Norse myths are found in two manuscripts, commonly titled the Elder Edda and Younger Edda, also known as the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda.
