About

Norse Gods is a reference and exploration tool for Norse mythology, focusing on gods, beings, artefacts, worlds and stories from the Norse tradition.

The content draws primarily on the most important primary sources, including the Poetic Edda, Snorri's Edda (Prose Edda), and selected sagas and poems. The stories have been summarised and simplified to make them more accessible, and the texts are therefore not direct translations of the original sources.

The illustrations on the site are AI-generated fantasy images and should not be understood as historically accurate depictions or academic reconstructions. They are created to provide a visual impression of the myths, the atmosphere and the characters in the stories.

The website is intended as an accessible starting point for curious readers, not as an academic source. For further study, reading the primary sources and scholarly literature on Norse mythology is recommended.
