Greek gods vs Norse gods

Originally posted by Phantom Zone

First of all it seems that the Greeks gods are really untrustworthy, capricious and jealous. All through Greek mythology there are examples of the Greek gods punishing man at a whim. Can't remember the exact details but there is a myth of a man who accidently saw Artemis naked and gets killed because Artemis was outraged...im sure you could think of other examples.

There are also some WTF moments for example Promotheus is punished by the gods for helping mankind.....I mean c'mon man, wtf I thought you gods had our back. On top of that they send Pandora to earth as a punishment. 😬

Sure myths are to not to be taken literially but at the same time as a worshipper of the Greek gods it would make me nervous worshipping them.

In addition to the reasons you listed, if your wife had a nice ass, the Greeks are tappin that. Guaranteed.

Zeus would shape-shift into an exact replica of your husband while he was off at war or at the market 🤨

Even though the Norse Gods were all about warfare, and who wants that, I'd rather kick it with them than the Greeks.

Serioulsy what is your problem? Either contribute to the discussion or just get lost. Its not about who you thinks more powerful its about how would you rather trust based on the actions of the gods in mythology, read the bloody stipulation of this thread and stop acting like a @*#%ing moron.

War was just part of life but they dealt with many other things as well. 🙄

I always was more interested in Norse mythology as opposed to Greek.

If it was a fight, the Norse would kick the Greek's collective ass. The Greek gods were all petulant children., the Norse gods were built for war.

Zeus and the other greeks defeated the Titans.

Also, Fenris is killed by having his jaws ripped apart during Ragnarok, he isn't unstoppable.

Ok but thats not what this thread is about.

Ok but its not about who you think is more powerful. The norse gods aere not all about fighting. Hell the whole reason why Iceland exists today is because people wanted to get away from the violence in Norway. 😬

In a sense, it is true.

Very funny.

This is a difficult one...to be honest I find the Greek Gods were Gods of a far superior society...thus I must assume worshiping them is a good idea...plus they are cleaner!

In saying that, we should really throw the Egyptian Gods into the equation...especially if its a war!

The Greeks vs the Norse Peoples?

Philosophy, Science, Politics, the Arts...all far outweigh what the germanic peoples were producing at this time ofcourse the Democracy of Athens is perhaps the key to their brilliance.

I apologise Mr. Hitler, I didn't realise this thread was your property last time I checked, when a user starts a topic it can go in pretty much any direction it pleases that is the nature of conversation after all... especially considering the terrible title you gave the thread what did you expect people to think it was about? Also considering the fact I answered your question in the first part of my response I think I am more than entitled to discuss what other users are discussing in the second part of my reply... Again I apologise and will be sure to withdraw from your little Reich.

Nordic clans had Gods for multiple reasons, but the true meaning of existence for them were Ragnarok, a big battle where all Gods would die, the end of the world if you will.

The Greeks did not have such destiny written, and were more human than most Nordic Gods. they each had their weaknesses. Women were Zeus hehe. But they symbolize a culture far more advanced than the Norse. It makes them more powerful in a sense, even if the Norse Gods were beautifully representated.

I suspect this is why we learn Greek gods being yound, and toss aside the Northern stories, which does not mean they were bad.

True.

It could go even deeper if we include the Egyptian Gods.

That'd be interesting, though gut instinct tell me to bet on the Norse ****ers in a full out war between the Norse, Greek and Gyppos.

I would put my money on the Egyptians.

They also used to molest little boys and they treated women like dirt> Of course the Norse where not angels either but they do seem to be better if only slightly. I don't know about this democracy it seems to me that it is partially blown out of proportion didn't they force people to vote?

At the end of the day the Norse people may have been more simpler but I dont see how that makes Greek society superior. Im pretty sure there are laws that we have today which orginated from the Norse since law is a word of Norse origin. They did have culture as well and laws its not like they just ran around chopping each other up.

As far as im concerned the Celtic society was far superior to the Romans and The Greeks.

You are missing the point. I was under the impression that you are misunderstanding the purpose of the thread, yes you can talk about what you like in the thread but posts like this are pissing me off.

It seems some people are getting the impression that I made this thread to say which pantheon would beat the other pantheon in a fight.

If by "safest" you mean the one that I preceive to have the highest chance of winning, yes, yes I do.

Proper to germanic tribes, they had what we called women screamers.

Basically, they took their women, applied some basic training in warfare, and were sent in the frontlines. Their goal was to scream and charge the other army, taking their heart out of battle.

Many women went in search of a life without men (Amazons if you will).

Yes, Greeks had their issues, but so did the Northern tribes.

Source please never heard this before. Sure your not getting the Celts mixed up with Germanic tribes? This migt be true for Germanic tribes but I am talking about the Norse people not the Germanic people.

Yes they did but they did seem to have more rights but not by much I think.

I'm too lazy to search, but I know it's true, so there won't be a problem finding that on internet. They even made a unit on Rome total war about them. And they don't put shit in that game let me tell you hehe.

No, the Celts and Northern are two different things.

Thats what im talking about you seem to be talking about a different time period. You also ahve to bear in mind that there is a good chance you are getting The Celts mixed up with The German tribes. The Celtic and Germanic tribes used to mix and also Tacitus seems to ahve got the tribes mixed up or at least scholars have.

That serioulsy sounds like a Celtic tradition. In Celtic society women took part in war, in Norse socitey it was much more rarer.
