Old Norse Myths

Listen to myths and fairy tales from the Old Norse era. This is an open track not linked to specific places. Sit down somewhere comfortable and disappear into the world of the norse myths. They were told during the Viking Age and probably long before that. In one story, Tor’s hammer Mjölner is stolen and in another, Idun’s apples have ended up with the giant Tjatse, and that’s not so good, because then the gods become old and scrawny! A slightly more disgusting tale is about how the gods’ drink mead came to be.
