542 Words3 Pages

Norse Mythology by: Molly Davis There are many stories in Norse Mythology. Golden Apples of Iduna, Thor and the Giants, Freya's Necklace name just a few, but there are many more. These stories have also been explained through video clips, but from a different perspective. As these three myths are examined, points of both similarities and differences will be the focus.

Odin invited Freya to a feast, so she wanted to get a new necklace. Freya went into a cave to find a new necklace. Freya can control weather and the seasons, and is also very stubborn. She meet the goblins in the cave. Her husband left her because she got a necklace from the goblins in the cave. Loki took the necklace from Freya when she was asleep.

    The most important way to think about myths is that they are symbolic stories that attempt to answer difficult human questions about the universe. For instance, where did we and the world come from? And what is the meaning of life?. “We all want to know where we came from, but because our earliest beginnings are lost in the mists of prehistory, we have created myths about our forefathers that are not historical but help to explain current attitudes about our environment, neighbors and customs” (6). Myth functions as a guidance that explains everything that we come into contact with in the universe.
