This category is for Norse mythology, the myths of the Scandinavians (Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Iceland). The main source for Norse mythology is the Icelandic Edda. Included in this category is Teutonic mythology, which is related, but not identical, to Norse mythology. The first to study Teutonic mythology systematically were the Grimm brothers. The term Germanic mythology may refer to either Norse or Teutonic mythology, or both.
