Description

This week is another Mathias and  Daniel episode! On purpose! Definitely not because we had a guest cancel on us at the last minute. We're taking this as an opportunity to dedicate an entire episode to the absolute fever dream that is the Viking creation myth, specifically the version in Snorri Sturluson's Edda. So be prepared for some knees knocking each other up, a cow licking a giant to life, and learning that Asgard is actually the ancient city of Troy (also it's made out of a giant's eyelashes, it's complicated).Check us out on Instagram at: www.instagram.com/nordicmythologypodcastAnd if you like what we do, and would like to be in the audience for live streams of new episodes to ask questions please consider supporting us on Patreon:www.patreon.com/NordicMythologyPodcastIf you would like to join our bi-weekly Q&A Episodes in the new year, or get access to our special Story Time episodes covering the saga literature, then all you have to do is join our Patron.
