Homer, the Iliad and the Odyssey. Mythologie nordique. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre.
La mythologie nordique est l'ensemble des mythes provenant d'Europe du Nord (plus particulièrement de la Scandinavie et de l'Islande) à la base du système religieux polythéiste pratiqué dans ces régions au haut Moyen Âge avant leur christianisation. Il s'agit d'une variante régionale et historique de la plus vaste mythologie germanique. Aujourd'hui cette mythologie est surtout associée aux Vikings qui ont exporté leurs croyances au-delà de la Scandinavie, on parle alors aussi de mythologie viking. Roman mythology. Roman mythology is the body of traditional stories pertaining to ancient Rome's legendary origins and religious system, as represented in the literature and visual arts of the Romans.
"Roman mythology" may also refer to the modern study of these representations, and to the subject matter as represented in the literature and art of other cultures in any period. The Romans usually treated their traditional narratives as historical, even when these have miraculous or supernatural elements. The stories are often concerned with politics and morality, and how an individual's personal integrity relates to his or her responsibility to the community or Roman state. Heroism is an important theme.
