Greek Vs. Norse Mythology
Want to know the difference between Greek and Norse mythology? This guide has everything you need to know.
Another thing is, is that Greeks and the North had a lot of basic ideas that were the same. They each had only one ruler of the gods and man, Zeus and Odin, and they each had wives, Hera and Frigg, that had a little less power then there husbands but more then the other gods. Each had the certain realms such as a god of, war, love, seas/water, underworld/death. This might not seem like a big thing but if you look at other myths from different groups you will find only one god or creator but th Greeks and the Norse had gods fo almost every different realm possible. Another thing you could conclude is that these god kind of checked the power of Zeus/ Odin who also would check the power of the gods.
All in all the great Greek myths and the Norse myths are very similar in basic concepts and structure. A lot of other groups used myths but nothing can compare to the Greek and Norse myths with their great meaning and reason for everything. Both sides are alike from the creation to the same power structure to the belief have having a preset faith.
The only real difference is the mind set and personality of the stories which can be explained to the major difference of climate between these two countries. Why might they be so similar? Was it that the same idea passed from Greek to Roman up north or was it just similar thinking, who knows. Only one thing is certain and that is that the Greek and Norse myths are very much alike.

This website is so stupid… when it says Greek Myths in names Roman gods….. Prosperina should be Persephone, Pluto should be Hades,Cupid should be Eros, and Ceres should be Circe. why would you make a website based on mythology if you dont even know it?

I\’m sorry! You really need to learn to use proper grammar and proofread before you actually post something like this. The way you write reminds me of someone who is still in middle school. Never use first person when writing something like this PLEASE!!!!!! For your own good, it makes you look naive and without a clue what you are talking about!
You took an interesting, intellectual topic and turned it into something people wince at! I\’m so sorry, I feel so embarrassed for you:(

You made a lot of spelling mistakes. You may want to correct them,.

There are some points that need to be corrected. The first point is that Uranus was not killed by Cronus, rather he was castrated and his son assumed rule over the universe; likewise Cronus was not killed by Zeus, rather he was merely overthrown. The Greeks considered their gods to be immortal hence they were incapable of dying. The second point is that in Norse mythology, many scholars argue that although Odin was ruler of the gods, he was lesser in power to his son, Thor.
