Vikings didn't have horns on their helmets but I bet if you showed them a single modern Viking depiction they'd all start doing it like gangsters imitating The Godfather

When you are used to the no-nonsense, no-context approach of medieval Irish stories, trying to read Old Norse saga literature does feel kind of like you're being told a medieval story by Uncle Colm from Derry Girls.

Love this Odin depiction. The world weariness in his gaze, despite Munin bringing him nice memories as flowers, the covering his missing eye with an emo sidepart, the heavy lean on his spear. This is a man I can believe would say Meðalsnotr skyli manna hverr æva til snotr sé

Odin: Sonnenwende (Solstice) by Anton Marussig (1914)
