Summary

Explore captivating myths of the Norse Gods and heroes

The stories from Norse mythology linger in our culture today. Four days of our week are named after members of the Norse pantheon (Tyr, Woden [Odin], Thor, and Frigg). Wagner’s Ring Cycle has kept one version of one of the great Norse stories alive in the minds of music lovers. Fans of modern fantasy will find many echoes of the Norse tales as well. Something in these old and puzzling stories still has the power to move and unsettle us and to inspire new acts of creation.  

This audiobook will give you a brief introduction to some of the best-known myths found in the primary sources. This audiobook includes a glossary of names in case you need help keeping track of a rather large cast of characters. Enjoy your explorations!  

Within this audiobook, you'll find the following Norse myths and topics covered: 

  • The creation of the worlds
  • The building of Asgard
  • Why Odin has one eye and Tyr has one hand
  • The mead of poetry
  • Loki the thief
  • Love and trouble
  • Thor the bride
  • Thor’s adventures in Utgard
  • Odin the host and Odin the guest
  • Andvari’s curse
  • Regin and Sigurd
  • Sigurd and the dragon
  • The marriage of Sigurd
  • Brynhild’s betrayal
  • The death of Sigurd
  • The passing of Balder
  • Ragnarök
  • Grace Note: The story of Rolf Krake

Fantastic work

Any additional comments?

The love of the subject is apparent throughout the stories.Encounter the Norse Gods as they venture throughout their world. Relate these tales to modern life and learn lessons that only the Gods can teach. If you are an avid fan of mythology or just venturing into this area, Matt's book is a great read for you.
