Norse mythology not only has itвЂ™s gods, goddesses and immortals but also a myriad of other characters and creatures that populate the stories including giants, dwarfs, monsters, magical animals and objects. The Myths on this site are largely based on the translations of Snorri SturlusonвЂ™s work by Kevin Crossley-Holland an English translator, childrenвЂ™s author and poet. SturlusonвЂ™s works have been translated many times over and in many languages. They are вЂњsaidвЂќ to be the least biased writings of the lot. The myths presented on this website were derived from the works of Snorri Sturluson an Icelandic historian, poet, and politician (1179 вЂ“ 1241). Many of these sources however are said to be tainted by the Christian bias of the writers. Norse mythology comprises the pre-Christian beliefs and legends of the Scandinavian peoples including those who settled on Iceland where most of the written sources for Norse mythology were assembled. These stories were passed down in the form of poetry until the 11th вЂ“ 18th centuries when the Eddas and other texts were written. The Norse Gods are the mythological characters that, as far as we know, came from the Northern Germanic tribes of the 9th century AD.
