I believe that one of the most prominent aspects of Icelandic Saga’s is the very unique feuds and resolutions that are found in our readings. The social issues found in these sagas are constructs of many different influences upon society during the viking ages making distinctive culturally unique plots.

Norse mythology didn’t stay inclusive to their own gods because of their raids and trading they learned different religions. Norse mythology integrated another mythology into theirs.

Norse mythology is the religion of the Viking people, who were seafaring warriors, raiders, and explorers from the region which includes modern-day Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland. They occupied this region from approximately 793 CE to 1000 CE. This religion did not have a proper name and was simply referred to as “tradition.” For this project, I would like to explore the role of women in the religion, particularly, Freya and Frigg and their similarities to one another.

It can be said that Frey is to the Norsemen what Apollo was to the Greeks. He was one of the many deities that made up Norse mythology, and also one of the most interesting.
