Odin vs. Ymir: The Dark Truth of How the Norse World Was Built | Norse Mythology

Every civilization is built on top of something that was destroyed. In Episode 2 of our deep dive into Norse Mythology, we witness the most consequential murder in mythological history. Join us as we explore how Odin, Vili, and Ve killed the cosmic monster Ymir, causing a mass extinction in a flood of blood. Discover the terrifying truth of the Norse cosmology: the earth you stand on is flesh, the mountains are shattered bones, the oceans are blood, and the sky above is a continent-sized skull. We also uncover the survival of Bergelmir, the origin of the Midgard wall, and the philosophical cost of order built on chaos. Welcome back to Mythology Deconstructed.
