The Mead of Poetry is such a gripping tale, telling of the time when two sociopathic dwarves murdered the wisest human being who ever lived. The dwarves then embark upon a killing spree, murdering two giants, whose son later seeks to avenge their death. It is truly a marvelous myth centered around Odin and his quest for wisdom.

The Death of Baldur is one of the most famous stories in Norse Mythology. Baldur was the most beloved of all the gods. The son of Odin, the Allfather, and Frigg the Queen of Asgard, Baldur was a handsome, gracious, and cheerful character who gladdened the hearts of all who were around him. The Death of Baldur is the story that tells of the ominous dreams he began to have about his death, and how Loki eventually killed the fairest of all the gods.
