Review : The Norse Myths That Shape The Way We Think (1/2)

My mythology binge continues with the Norse book of the Thames & Hudson "that shape the way we think" series, here looking at the themes of trickery and tragedy. Norse gods seem to be inveterate liars even more so than the Greeks, and they also have a much stronger fatalist streak about them. Well, if you knew you were going to eventually be eaten by a giant snake and burned by a fire demon, I suppose you wouldn't really care much about telling porky-pies.
