Cultural Note:
Norse mythology emerged from the harsh landscapes of Scandinavia, where long winters, towering mountains, and endless nights shaped a worldview of resilience, fate, and cosmic struggle. These myths were passed down through oral tradition and later preserved in the Poetic and Prose Eddas. Today, they continue to resonate in literature, film, and popular culture—reminding us of the enduring power of story.
