I don't know much about Celtic Mythology... what's the overview?



Does anyone else have any write-in's?

Or explanations for their vote?

Wait, so Odin's great-grandmother was a cow? Huh You learn something new every day! Tongue

That tipped me in favor of the Norse.

I think that technically, Odin's grandparents came from the Cow's saliva when she spit onto the ice and salt.

Let's just say that if Greek myths are defined mostly by tragedies, the Norse myths are defined mostly by comedies. Thor also had to go cross-dressing to trick a giant into marrying him. And Loki transformed himself into a female horse, and got pregnant, to help out the gods on some task. The Norse myths were basically their equivalent of Family Guy (with Loki = Stewie).

The story of Osiris is also very interesting.

My mom used to read be Greek myths when I was a kid. It took me years to realize how brutal this thing was. Ah, the innocence.
The castration sickle... took me a while to recognize what that meant when I was a kid!
