| | The fact that in both mythologies the gods and goddesses were "human" enough to require sustenance is one more example of how easy it would be for the people of these cultures to relate to them. | | | If a mythology is taken as a reflection of the society that worships it, that leads to the conclusion that the Norse women had less stature than Greek women. | | | In this sense, these mythologies are somewhat similar to understandings of "heaven" in later religions, which is often visualized as being above the earth. |
