Thunderbolts, love affairs, Hercules, and hydras versus Frost Giants, the Midgard Serpent, Thor, and a giant cow.
Norse for me. |

I quite enjoy both, although I have to admit that my introduction to Norse mythology was via Marvel Comics' Journey Into Mystery/Thor series.

my itroduction through Norse myth was through a baby sitter when i was 10, and greek myth through religion classes in elementary school
some Norse mythology is also brought through in various forms, but is tought about in school but not in detail, |

Being a Norwegian I may seem like a traitor but … I find Greek mythology to be richer, and I think it says more about human nature than Norse mythology.

I prefer the Icelandic Eddas and Sagas over the Greek epics and tragedies.

Jesus promised to end sin
Thor promised to banish the ice giants. I don't see any ice giants. Norse mythology: 1, Christianity: 0.

Caio had something similar to this in his sig a while ago, except it used atheism as the butt of the joke instead of Christians. They're both really funny. |

 .
I won't vote as I am not very familiar with the Norse mythology (being Greek my vote would be biased).
I find mythology to be really inspiring for young people (better than modern age TV rubbish...) - kids should be taught more about these things...
