Odin who gave an eye for wisdom, Thor and his hammer, Loki the trickster, the World Tree and the twilight of the gods: the myths of the North, told by Sophia with Philo, Marcos and Demetria, with grammar at every level and a gamebook for each part.
The myths survive mainly in two Icelandic books of the 13th century, the Poetic Edda and Snorri Sturluson’s Prose Edda, written down by Christians two centuries after the conversion; the lessons say where scholars are unsure what is ancient. The Sagas of Iceland, the human stories, are a separate series.
Fire, ice, a giant, and the tree that holds the worlds.
An eye for wisdom, and nine nights on the tree for the runes.
The thunder god, his hammer, and the giants.
Útgarda-Loki’s castle, where nothing is what it seems.
Thor and the giant Hymir go fishing for the Midgard Serpent.
Loki’s mischief, and what it cost the gods.
A builder, a deadline, a horse, and Loki’s strangest trick.
Sif’s golden hair, Odin’s spear and Thor’s hammer.
The apples of youth stolen, and the gods growing old.
Loki’s children, the death of the brightest god, and the end of the world.
A wolf, an unbreakable ribbon, and Týr’s hand.
Mistletoe, a blind god, and a world that weeps.
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday: the Norse gods still with us.
