Norse mythology is mostly mentioned in Old Norse dialects, a North Germanic language spoken by Scandinavians in the Middle Ages and the predecessor of modern Scandinavian languages. Iceland generated the vast majority of these Old Norse manuscripts. ¹⁾

The Prose Edda, written by Snorri Sturluson in the thirteenth century, and the Poetic Edda, a collection of poems created anonymously in the same century, are among these books. ²⁾

Time units and cosmological factors are personified as gods or entities in Norse mythology. ³⁾

The Vikings believed in two kinds of gods, the sir and the Vanir, as well as other entities like as giants, dwarfs, and other animals. ⁴⁾

As most comic book fans are already aware, the gods of the Norse pantheon play an important role in the Marvel Universe, particularly Thor, who has been one of the company's longest-running superheroes. ⁵⁾

The structure of the Norse universe is described as tricentric. According to mythology, the Norsemen spoke of a globe that looked like three plates stacked on top of each other, with space between them. A massive tree (Yggdrasil) with three roots in each realm held these plates together at the top. ⁶⁾
