	Valkyrie , Norse Mythology
		Because Scandinavian mythology was transmitted and altered by medieval Christian historians, the original pagan religious beliefs, attitudes, and practices cannot be determined with certainty.
		Most information about Scandinavian mythology is preserved in the Old Norse literature (Icelandic, Swedish, and Norwegian Literature), in the Eddas and later sagas; other material appears in commentaries by the Danish historian Saxo Grammaticus and the German writer Adam of Bremen (flourished about 1075).
		Besides Odin, the major deities of Scandinavian mythology were his wife, Frigg, goddess of the home; Thor, god of thunder, who protected humans and the other gods from the giants and who was especially popular among the Scandinavian peasantry; Frey, a god of prosperity; and Freya, sister of Frey, a fertility goddess.

	Bookbird: a journal of international children's literature
		Similarly, Nordic books for young readers form part of the ever widening canon of international children's literature because of their distinctive national features and universal appeal--for instance, the contributions of Hans Christian Andersen, Selma LagerlÝf, Astrid Lindgren, Tove Jansson, Thor Heyerdahl, and Jostein Gaarder.
		Young adult literature produced in the Scandinavian region, in particular, is distinctive because it sparks critical thinking in youth, searches for answers to existential questions, and treats contemporary issues of concern to youth--sex, ideological crises, insecurity, breakup of the traditional family, environmental destruction, nuclear war--in a frank and respectful manner.
		In Iceland, Norse mythology is kept alive as part of the country's past, and as Gu½laug Richter and I½unn SteinsdÙttir note in the country survey, myths may appear in a revised and urbanized version or interwoven into the fabric of the plot in a postmodern playful manner.
