The Vikings lived in a strange
and scary world. They had a lot of dangerous and strange creatures they had too
watch out for. They had many gods. The gods in the Norse religions had
similarities with does of the Greek and roman mythology. Odin was the king of
the gods and was very wise, Thor was his son, and was extremely powerful and
could control the thunder, Loki was more of an antigod. He tricked others, both
gods and men, to gain what he wanted. He was just a halfgod, but could use
magic. The Vikings had many more gods and many stories about them. Frey, Frigg,Tyr,
Balder (Baldur), and Magne, is worth
mention.
In the world of the Vikings there
was also jotner (jötunn) are a kind of giants, and are often the enemies
of the gods. Many are stupid. But there are often evil. They are in some way
similar to the trolls.
There was also elves, dwarfs and other creatures. Iinnorm was an evil
creature that come from a tiny larva inside a nut, that could grow to an
enormous size.
