I always loved Norse mythology, largely because of the implications of Ragnarok. After Ragnarok things will be peaceful and awesome, but all the gods will be dead so they’re trying to delay it. I like a mythology where what the gods want is not for the best of humanity, shows the way random chance (acts of the gods) affected Nordic people compared to other cultures where their gods tend to be on their side.

My favorite, as well. And it's one reason I really enjoyed Stargate SG-1 - the emphasis on Norse mythology in the creation of the "little grey men," the Asgard, with "Supreme Commander" Thor, Loki, Freyr, Heimdall, etc.

And Wagner’s ‘Ring’ Cycle is one hell of a telling of the Ragnarok.

Always struck me that the Norse peoples, the ultimate believers in their own strong right arms, should have a mythology that is very fatalistic and "set out". I mean the final clash at Ragnarok is totally scripted.

One things for sure, its a unique mythology.

Never read Norse mythology...
