About this listen
Have you ever wondered how Thor got his hammer?
Norse Mythology: Classic Stories of the Norse Gods, Goddesses, Heroes, and Monsters contains stories passed down from the ancient Norse religion, practiced by the Vikings and other northern people who live in modern-day Scandinavia, Iceland, and throughout the British Isles.
You will find myths that answer the following questions:
- How did Odin form the world from Ymir’s body and make men and women from wood?
- What are the names of the nine realms and who (or what) live in them?
- Why does Odin have only one eye, and why does Tyr have only one hand?
- Where the gift of poetry comes from?
- Who are Loki’s children, and why does Odin fear them?
- Why do the gods fear the end of the world, and what will happen at Ragnarok?
In this book, you will also find many stories about the gods Thor and Loki and their exploits in the land of the giants.
You will hear the story of the dwarf Andvari and his golden ring - the myth that is the basis for Robert Wagner’s famous opera The Ring of Nibelung as well as J. R. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy.
And, in these pages, you will find the story of the mortal hero Sigurd and his battle with the dragon Fafnir.
Whether you are new to Norse mythology or looking to dive into the rich, fantastical world, Norse Mythology: Classic Stories of the Norse Gods, Goddesses, Heroes, and Monsters is the place to start!

Most people have heard of the Celts - the elusive, ancient tribal people who resided in present-day England, Ireland, Scotland and France. Paradoxically characterized as both barbaric and innocent, the Celts appeal to the modern world as a symbol of a bygone era, a world destroyed by the ambition of empire and the spread of Christianity throughout Western Europe. Despite the pervasive cultural and literary influence of the Celts, shockingly little is known of their way of life and beliefs, because very few records of their stories exist.

The Prose Edda and the Poetic Edda are our oldest written sources for Norse mythology. When it comes to the norse myths, they are the closest thing we have to listening these stories as the vikings actually told them, around those ancient campfires so long ago. It is my hope that you will enjoy this collection, and that the two books will work in tandem to broaden and deepen your appreciation for these epic and mystical stories, and the enigmatic culture that spawned them.

The Akallabêth recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom of Númenor at the end of the Second Age, and Of the Rings of Power tells of the great events at the end of the Third Age.

The stories from Norse mythology linger in our culture today. Four days of our week are named after members of the Norse pantheon (Tyr, Woden (Odin), Thor, and Frigg). Wagner’s Ring Cycle has kept one version of one of the great Norse stories alive in the minds of music lovers. Fans of modern fantasy will find many echoes of the Norse tales as well. Something in these old and puzzling stories still has the power to move and unsettle us and to inspire new acts of creation. This audiobook will give you a brief introduction to some of the best-known myths.

Or that humans were first created to do the chores on earth for the Gods and Goddesses? The ancient Sumerians lived a difficult life, and this is reflected in their myths. However, also reflected in their stories is their love for justice and the values which they most supported, among them beauty, honor, and truthfulness.

Why Thor's hammer has a short handle.
I received this book in exchange for an honest review. This was a short telling of some of the most important of the Norse Legends. I wish it had gone a bit deeper but if you are interested in finding out more than you do in a Marvel movie this is a good place to start. At first, I was frustrated by the narration which seemed stilted but I soon realized that it was just the way it was written with a glossary at the start of the book.As it went along it got a lot better.

A Well Written Collection of Norse Tales
This excellent collection covers the Norse tales from the creation of the world to Ragnarok including stories of Odin, Thor, Loki and all the other gods. Well written and well read, they are brief enough for traveling and interesting enough to keep you coming back. Though not a complete collection they provide an excellent introduction to one of the worlds great mythologies.

A different view of the Old Gods
As an Asatru heathen, I follow the old Gods. Books about the old Gods vary in interpretation. This book is no exception.
I'm not sure how much research Scott Lewis did prior to writing this book. The reason I say this is because in several of the tales, Lewis leaves out what I consider to be important elements of the story.
For example, in Lewis' version Thor and Loki travel together seeking giants. They come across the giant who eventually uses trickery to show them humility. However, Lewis left out half of the tale. I'm referring to when Thor and Loki stop in at the farmer's home. The farmer's son cracks the bone to one of Thor's goats.... anyways you see what I mean. Also Lewis'version of how Loki was captured and bound was not accurate at all.
I did enjoy the tale of Sigurd. This is not a tale that is common in most other "Norse Mythology" books. Unfortunately, Lewis ends the tale stating that is a story for another day, but then doesn't tell the reader/listener where to find the rest of the story.
The narration I found lacking. The narrator simply read the book. No emotion, no passion, he just simply read aloud.
If you have never read or listened to any other books about the Norse Gods, then I would suggest finding another book. If you have read or listened to other books and want a different point of view, then I guess this might be a good fit for you.

Norse Mythology
There was a great deal more info in this book than what I knew. I really enjoyed this one. I have to say, I knew more of the stories but not so much origins. The narration on this was good, but there were some strange background noises. Otherwise, it was overall a good listen all around with, not only the normal stories, but a lot of background.

A Snapshot of the Norse Mythologies
Once you get past the glossary of terms and names then this book becomes much more enjoyable. If you're looking for an overview of Norse mythology then this book is for you. No one story is fully told but enough of each story is that will satisfy your curiosity or help you to know what to look for in a further search. The narration is done well. It was like someone reading to a group of listeners in a reading group. An enjoyable listen all around.

Well written mythology
This collection is good mythology with all the best Norse stories. The writing is very good.
The narration was 4.5 stars. It was a bit dry, especially in the first third, but it gets better as the book goes on. I recognize that in part, and probably unfairly, that this rating is because I'm unable to stop myself from comparing this to Gaiman's book and narration.

An interesting read
A great way to learn about a culture that very few us have any knowledge.
The Narrator did a good job with the material and gives the listener the ability to absorb these stories.
