Vikingarna sporrade varandra med sagor om hjältar som dräpte drakar och gudar som slogs med jättar. Sagorna var både spännande och roliga och handlade ofta om den mäktiga åskguden Tor eller om den listiga Loke, som kunde förvandla sig till vad som helst. Gudarna kämpade mot jättarna och mot hemska varelser som Midgårdsormen, Fenrisulven och draken Fafner. I Fornnordiska myter och sagor kan du läsa om några av de spännande äventyr som Tor, Loke och de andra invånarna i Asgård var med om, bland annat hur det gick till när Loke lurade dvärgarna och när Tor skulle gifta sig med jätten Trym. Här finns berättelser från tidernas begynnelse till världens undergång, en beskrivning av mytologins världar, världsträdet Yggdrasil och myternas ursprung.
