Hello,

Where can I find information about northern mythology? Thor, Loki, etc.

Thanks a lot,

Lucas

The northern part of a library would probably be best, unless you want to buy
some books.

More specifically, look for the Eddas - the Edda Saemundar (the Poetic
Edda, the Elder Edda)) and the Prose Edda of Snorri Sturlason (the
Younger Edda). After those, look for the Lay of the Volsungs (Volsung
Saga) and the Niebelungenleid, as well as sundry sagas, such as Njal's
& Egil's. Also, a lot of folks recommend Kevin Crowsley-Howland's The
Norse Myths.
