| | Another important Norse god was LOKI the author of all evil, who was said to have originated in a land to the south. | | | One of Odin's sons in Norse mythology was called, 'BALDER,' which Hislop states comes from the Chaldee form of "Baal- zer", meaning the SEED OF BAAL. | | | "Bulfinch's Mythology" states that "the Scandinavians had an idea of a deity superior to Odin, uncreated and eternal," which they called the Alfadur or 'ALL-FATHER.' For although the Norse mythology allows for a pantheon of gods, yet only ONE GOD is said to be immortal. |

| | In the Norse cycles the conflict between the gods begins when Odin and Thor, the greatest of the gods, refuse the full status of godhood to the Vanir. | | | Scandinavian and Germanic mythology have a common origin and structure; they will, therefore, be discussed in their unity. | | | The main body of traditions is contained in the Prose Edda of SNORRI STURLUSON (c.1179-1241), an Icelandic historian who is considered the most accurate editor, redactor, and interpreter of the religious and mythological sources of the old Norse religion. |

| | GREEK vs. NORSE MYTHOLOGY |
| | Most of the Norse gods were war-like in nature; while the Greeks had deities who affected war, it was certainly not to the same extent as the Norse. | | | 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. | | | 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. |
