Mordreth

(Wait for S like Siegfried, Fafnir <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> )

Mordeth? A hero? If I'm not totally wrong (and I can quite shurley say I'm not...) he's the guy who killed Arthur (who WAS The Hero).

Damit! I could have picked McBain on M <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />! Or McGuyver (did I spell that correctly? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />). Oh well.

What <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />? Scandinavian? Never heard of it (and I LIVE in Scandinavia...) DS

PPS Just realized I don't have someone on N... So, I've written a quite long post, and it was COMPLETELY <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" />... DS

No, no, no <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

And now a long <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

Fafnir is the Dragon from the Nibelungen mythology.
He is also a figure in the Edda, and this is, if i remember right, a scandinavian collection of Legends.


Wikipedia.

Please Ubereil, take the time and go to the Link. Lern something about a part of your national mythology.
I think it is very importand to know such things. And interesting too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I dont mean it bad or so.
But i think the younger people all over the World do not know enough about such things.
And your right, Ubereil, you are from Scandinavia, so normally its on you to tell us such things.
But no blame, it`s the same thing here in Germany, and in the whole World i think.
Thats make me sad <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puppyeyes.gif" alt="" />

I hear you Stone and agree.

I’m American, but my family heritage is Norse.
My Great, Great Grandfather came to America in hopes of a better opportunity for his family.
Although I never knew my Great, Great Grandfather, I appreciate my Norse heritage. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Hey guys, we're talking Iceland here, I think. Or maybe Germany. I'm from Sweden, and here we don't have it. Note to everybody: Scandinavia only contains of Norway and Sweden.

Übereil (once again <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/offtopic.gif" alt="" />)

PS I KNOW something about THAT part of my national history. After all, history is one of my top-subjects DS

Fafnir is a Dragon from Norse Legends not Iceland.

Fafnir is directly linked to Odin.
You know The Norse God Odin. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

There are other versions of the stories from other countries, but its origins are from Norway.

Then why is the book it's from (Volsungas saga) an Icelandic book?

I asked my father (who is 60 in January!) about him. He had never heard of him...

I read about the god system. Allmost none of the gods are mentioned... They didn't mention Valhall (where the god's live...). OK, they mention Alsgaard (I havn't had this kind of history for a while, so I'm a bit rusty...). They acually mention some of the gods (in links...). OK, they might mention the gods (never heard they lived in clans!). We're supposed to have dwarves and elves in our mythology... And it seems like Tolkien's midgaard is based on our mythologhy... Erm, it seems like your right, but since I don't know this, and I know the most important things about it, you can't seriously expect me to know this!

PS still doubt he's DIRECTLY related to Odin though... DS

PPS this guy seems to know what he's talking about, so I think I'll have to trust him... And btw, the names of the week is based on Odin's family's names. We started it, and you copied it, you copycats! DS

Goddamit !

I MEANT: The surename's supposed to be first. END! OF! DISCUSSION!!!
