Nordic mythology
Scandinavian gods' stories
Nordic mythology is the body of myths and legends from ancient Scandinavian peoples—stories of gods like Odin, Thor, and Freya, of giants, dwarves, and the world tree Yggdrasil.
The term is interchangeable with Norse mythology, though Norse is more common in academic contexts: Nordic mythology influenced Tolkien's work.
