  2. Without getting into too much detail, there were some differences, though obviously many of the basic ideas were the same. What we know as "Norse" mythology is probably more elaborate and systematized than the earlier pre-literate beliefs, thanks to the efforts of Snorri Sturluson, who wrote a manual on it called Skaldskaparmal, "Language of Poetry".
  3. Is ancient German/Germanic mythology different from Norse/Nordic mythology? Are they essentially the same thing, considering that the Norse were (and are)... Menu. News.

  4. Thanks everybody! So it seems that the common origin of these myths and legends ensures that although they are not exactly the same, they are similar enough to be grouped together as one mythology/legend system. Possibly to outsiders, it's a major stereotype kind of like saying, all Christian...
  5. For instance, and I really wish I could remember where I read this, Odin didn't really used to be that important of a god, and he certainly wasn't the "All-father" until his cult, which spread from Germany, actually, pushed him forward. Before that, Thor was the king of the gods in the Germanic...
  6. [h=3]The OG Kobold[/h]Aaron Mahnke's Lore podcast, "Tampered," gives the origin of the kobold as beginning with "goblin," a phrase originating in the Middle Ages -- kobold, gobold, gobolin -- the root word being "kob," which means "beneath the earth" (sharing origin with the word "cove"). Kobolds in folklore were fey-like beings of Germanic mythology about the size of a small child, divided ...
  7. After having checked several internet sites about real world mytholgy I would have to say, as far as I know gnolls aren't from any earthly mytholgy, but humanoids with animal heads where/are common in many of the worlds mythologies, most well known of these are the minotaur from greek mythology.
  8. I would consider the Goths to be pre-Germanic peoples, whereas Vikings are a much later Germanic people. They didn't exist at the same time. The big difference between Vikings and the other two mentioned human cultures, is that the former existed from about 800 AD to about 1100 AD, where as the Goths were from the early part of Dark Ages, sav 0 AD to about 500 AD - so I doubt a Goth ever met a ...

  10. The entire mythology of the region was there to play with, not just Greek and Roman, but any other culture the Roman empire had contact with: Egypt, Ireland/Scotland, North Africa, the middle east, the Norse, all of it. With all of that in mind I have to say that the best source book I found was Bullfinch's Mythology.
