Another great story is about the building of Asgard's wall by a giant. The giant offered to build the wall in a short time in exchange for the sun, the moon, and Freyja. Loki convinced the gods to let him try. He used his tricks to prevent the giant from finishing on time, and the gods didn't have to pay the steep price.

The Norse creation story is quite complex. Well, it all starts with Ginnungagap which is like this huge empty space. There were two opposite forces - the freezing cold of Niflheim and the intense heat of Muspelheim. As they interacted, Ymir emerged.

😋I recommend the following Norse mythology novels to you: 1. "Evil God's Smile": This book is a romantic youth-youth love novel. It mainly tells the story of Loki, the most troublesome god in Norse mythology. He is smart and cunning. He looks dignified, but he gradually becomes cynical and dark, becoming an evil god. 2. "The Dragon that Devours the World": This book is a fantasy-historical mythological novel. It introduced various mythical dragons, such as Jemengard, who was revered by the Norse Vikings, and Typhon, the hundred-headed dragon. 3. "The Undead Lord of the Frost Remains": This book is a fantasy-epic fantasy novel. It tells the story of the protagonist who transmigrated to the Norse Mythological World and became a mixed-race. He was ready to witness the Twilight of the Gods, but found that the God of Gods Odin had turned into a skeleton and was facing the end of the world. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation.

I like the Greek myth of Odysseus. Briefly, Odysseus was a hero who fought in the Trojan War. After the war, he had a long and arduous journey home. He faced many obstacles such as the Cyclops, the Sirens, and Scylla and Charybdis. His story is full of his wits and cunning as he tried to survive and get back to his family in Ithaca.
Sure. The Greek myth of Hercules is among the top. He had to perform twelve labors, like slaying the Nemean Lion and cleaning the Augean stables. Another is the Norse myth of Thor. He was the god of thunder, known for his mighty hammer Mjolnir. And the Celtic myth of Cuchulainn, a great warrior with superhuman strength.
