Yeah but the great tragedies are gut wrenching...Baldr's death, Ariadne abandoned by Theseus, poor Cassandra, Hercules driven made and murdering his own children...and Cuchulainn killing both his best friend and his son...plus the whole Volsung thing...
I love that going on a crusade was a get into heaven free pass. “Want to save your soul? Come murder and pillage in foreign lands in the name of the King!*”
*all plunder, booty, and treasure is property of The Crown.”
All things vowed to Frigg
Baldr they would never harm
Oh cursed mistletoe!
Such a tragedy😔
All the great Norse stories are, aren't they?
Come to think on it, same with Greek or Irish or Sumerian...🤔
Tragedies are way more interesting than like… everything going swimmingly 😂

Sworn on holy relic
Devoted to completion

Those were the days! Murder and mayhem in a righteous cause!😂 For both sides!
Aw thanks!
