Need some help...

[Sam-DN]

... thought this might be a good place to start.

so in the last few weeks ive been getting into amon amarth, i got twilight of the thunder god and loved it, then ordered the remaster of versus the world, it hasnt arrived yet though.

anyway, im trying to find some books on norse mythology now, to try and find out the stories behind the lyrics and stuff, but have absolutely no idea what im looking for.

can anyone here point me in the right direction, recomend anything or whatever.

thanks for any help if possible

I'd begin here and work my way through the links and books mentioned

There is another thread on here entitled "Viking Mythology and all that goes with it" or something to that effect.

For online ones, your best bets are probably http://www.northvegr.org/lore/pdf.php and http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/ice/index.htm
For actual books, I'm fond of [ame]http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Edda-Lee-M-Hollander/dp/0292764995/[/ame] and [ame]http://www.amazon.com/Edda-Everymans-Library-Snorri-Sturluson/dp/0460876163[/ame]

Yeah. I went to Amazon or Kalahari.net and searched for a book:
Myths of the Norsemen.

Found a couple of cool books with that search.
