Norse, Vikings introduction.
Norse, Vikings introduction. Suggested authors include: "Terry Jones, Barbarians"Link provided by rabelai2006 http://www.northvegr.org/sitei... is the link. For nordicmythology I reccomend Prose EDDA. There you can read everything about the gods and valhalla.If you would like to read about ethics of the vikings you can go to Poetic edda and there in to Havamal.But the best of this all are the Icelandic Sagas. Hero romance literature, absolutely brilliant. Tales about Vikings serving kings, raiding villages, battling at Iceland and so on. I reccommend following sagas: Egils Saga Skallagrimsson, Njals saga and Laxdæla saga.Some people find it very hard to begin reading the sagas because there is lot of talking who is who and what was his fathers name, and grandfathers and so on. But when people start reading more they can see all the sagas are linked to each other.Cheers.
