Norsemen Mythology and it's Culture
Many Cultures develop myths, legends, or stories to explain what seemed to them as an unexplainable action. One of these cultures, the Norsemen, also compiled myths to explain summer and winter and other such instances. Also, as in a myth's usual ingredients, they also include morals or lessons, god/goddess intervention, and heroes. Some even have universal statements, critical lens statements that are sayings or quotes.One Norsemen myth is the story of Niord, the God of Summer. The characters mentioned in the story are Niord, Aegir, Odin, Hoenir, Skadi, Frey, Freya, & Balder. The only example of God/Goddess intervention is when the Gods on Loki had unfortunately met Skadi, Goddess of Winter, whose father was killed. She was then swayed to a more pleasant mood they took advantage and agreed that she could marry on of the Gods, but only can only choose by feet. This story was mainly about how a God, Niord, got married to someone who was the complete opposite of himself. They did their best to keep the marriage afloat but each living in the other's world upset the other. They did have two children, named Frey and Freya. They then mutually agreed that their marriage wasn't meant to be and basically had a divorce. One quote that d
In the Norsemen story of Uller, he was said to be God of Winter. The Characters are Uller, Odin, Baldur, Hodur, and Skadi. One example of God/Goddess intervention is when Uller takes power of the Norsemen and those who believe in it because during the winter time he is most powerful, even above Zeus. He is also known as the God of Hell. The myth begins by explaining Uller's uncanny love for wilderness and big game hunting. He was said to control over the earth for the same amount of time Odin controlled the world. Baldur, God of Light associated with Odin while Hodur, God of Darkness, was to associate with Uller. Uller was not liked by the people of Earth as they liked Odin due to the fact that he did not pamper them as much as Odin but made life for the human's one to struggle for survival. Still, however, they would worship him by offering leather to what he can add to his collection and create clothing. The hero of this story is Uller and some of his special qualities and characteristics he had were that he was leaned more towards darkness and hell rather than being like Odin and more enjoyable. The Final Norsemen story is about Forseti, the equitable peacemaker. The characters were 12 men of law, Forseti, Balder, and Odin. The story is about Forseti, son of Balder and Nanna. He was born as a God who could listen equally to both sides and rule perfectly fair judgment to the side that was correct. For this ability, he joined the 12 councilman of Gods/Goddesses at Loki and the Gods/Goddesses gave him a beautiful house of gold with a beautifully decorated interior. He then had 12 disciples who he accompanied in the form of a man so that may land on heligoisland (holy island) where they are to have peace and no quarrels. Forseti is the hero in this story because he was the one who had setup judicial law for both mankind and gods. He was born from parents of good nature, Balder who was the god of light and Nanna who was the Goddess of immaculate purity. An additional Norsemen myth is the story of Herm
