IKEA, NOKIA,
PANDORA …what else products are from Nordic island? Three things here are probably
known by many
The Moomins
It originally
published in Finland, just look at these white, roundish fairy tale characters with
large snouts, you are on your way to healing. Although they are carefree, living
in the Moominvalley, they have had many adventures along with their various
friends.

This article
is about the Old English epic poem and I saw the fantastic movie version many
years before (2007), and two famous actors I know: Angelina Jolie and Anthony
Hopkins are in the film. As the poem is set in Scandinavia, Beowulf- a hero of
the Geats, the Monster- known as Grendel, and the Monster’s mother-a mysterious,
and coquettish woman (never given a name
in the text) vividly jump out of the movie and are full of Norse mythology.
Thor
With
fierce-eyed, red-haired and red-bearded appearance and wielding the magic
ironhammer, in Norse mythology, Thor, son of Odin, owns the greatest strength
and is associated with thunder, lightning, storms, also is the guardian of
human beings.
He is
absolutely a great guy in Norse legends, while the first time I know about him
is from the movies, and the actor Chris Hemsworth really brings the tough god
alive for us!
