Thats what is so fascinating about it.
But Norse mythology can be quite horrifying too. There was a valkyrie who made a sweater out of entrails! And midgard is actually the corpse of Ymir! But I love the stories of Loki

Yay, She cut up her own brother Apsyrtus. And she cut up
King Pelias to pieces and boil him. Yuck! 6_9

Yup... pretty interesting story... actually, I believe it went that she talked the king's daughters into cutting him up... she demonstrated how she cut up an old ram, put it in a stew, and pulled out a lamb. And the daughters wanted their father to be young and healthy again, so they did what Medea told them and cut him up and put him in a stew... big surprise, he didn't jump out in a younger body... I think those girls were pretty stupid...
