Never read Norse mythology...
I think it’s their frequent use of boats in an area of the world where being on the sea is very dangerous, and those vicious winters. While they were ultimate believers in their strong right arms they also lived in a world where you could just die with no path to survival, boats sink, herds of food animals that normally show up right before winter don’t, blizzards bury entire villages.
I don’t think there is a mythology I don’t not like but I do love the Greek, mostly because of Homer.
Good points! I never considered that.
