G. Collingwood. Most of the existing records on Norse mythology date from the 11th to 18th century, having gone through more than two centuries of oral preservation in what was at least officially a Christian society. At this point scholars started recording it, particularly in the Eddas and the Heimskringla by Snorri Sturluson , who believed that pre-Christian deities trace real historical people. There is also the Danish Gesta Danorum by Saxo Grammaticus , where the Norse gods are more strongly Euhemerized . The Prose or Younger Edda was written in the early 13th century by Snorri Sturluson , who was a leading skáld , chieftain, and diplomat in Iceland . It may be thought of primarily as a handbook for aspiring skálds. It contains prose explications of traditional " kennings ," or compressed metaphors found in poetry. These prose retellings make the various tales of the Norse gods systematic and coherent.

Norse Mythology From Tomb Raider Wiki Jump to: navigation search This arcticle is a work in progress. Feel free to contribute! The first trace of Nordic Mythology in Tomb Raider: Underworld Norse Mythology originates in Scandinavia, more specifically in the Iron Age, if not even in Scandanavian Prehistory. Many fundamental roots were formed long before the use of reading and writing, and continued to do so. This may be attributed to the orally transmitted nature of Norse Mythology - and the little evidence of Norse as a Mythology thereof. Up until Tomb Raider: Underworld , the Tomb Raider Franchise barely touched on Norse Mythology. Occasionally there were references. See Tomb Raider . However, Norse Mythology features heavily in Tomb Raider: Underworld , and a very broad and accurate understanding can be gained.

Popular incarnations include the Thor Room from the original Tomb Raider, St. Francis' Folly, a room which embodied all of Thor's godlike powers in a puzzle to collect four keys to unlock the door that leads to the Colosseum. The name caused minor amounts of confusion; St. Francis' Folly is based in Greco-Roman land, and Thor is a Norse God. This was cleared up in Tomb Raider: Anniversary , where the room was changed to Hephaestus.

Image by J. Penrose, 1890. Norse or Scandinavian mythology comprises the pre-Christian legends and religious beliefs of the Scandinavian people and Northern Germanic tribes, which tend to reflect a focus on physical prowess and military might. These myths were originally orally transmitted in the form of odes, sagas, and poetic epics. Knowledge of them is primarily based on two works called the Eddas and other medieval texts written down during and after the Christianization of the Norse peoples. The vast majority of written sources were assembled from accounts recorded in Iceland in the eleventh century C.E. In Scandinavian folklore, Norse mythology has long held cultural currency, and some traditions have been maintained until the present day. This rich mythological tradition also remains as an inspiration in modern literature, as well as for other forms of artwork (including visual representations, films, comic books and stage productions).

"I find no comfort in the shade Under the branch of the Great Ash. I remember the mist of our ancient past. As I speak to you in the present, My ancient eyes see the terrible future. "Do you not see what I see? Do you not hear death approaching? "The mournful cry of Giallr-horn shall shatter the peace And shake the foundation of heaven. "Raise up your banner And gather your noble company from your great hall, Father of the Slains. For you shall go to your destiny. "No knowledge can save you, And no magic will save you. For you will end up in Fenrir's belly, While heaven and earth will burn in Surt's unholy fire." Doom of Odin from the Book of Heroes Norse Mythology is a strange world. It's differed from other mythology, in that their characters and world, even in Asgard, are grave and solemn. This may all be due to the fact, even though the gods are immortal, they will be destroyed in the final battle between good and evil.
