: Ya forgot something. Well, you probably forgot more than
: one thing, but that's human.
: I remember Thrall being a viking slave, or something like
: that.
: Wow. Myth has a lot of viking references. Of course it
: has lots of references to every type of myth and old
: culture.
Oh yeah, and a couple things I forgot : )
I think your right about the viking slave thrall thing. They also had those iron things around their neck except it just meant they were slaves. Hmm.. maybe I should look it up, but I wonder if the aformentioned berserkers were thrall who were told, kill this guy, and we'll set you free..
Myrmidons are from either the Oddesy or the Illiad and they were (quotes from The Meridian Handbook of Classical Mythology) "Inhabitants of Phthia. Late Clasical writers, fascinated by the resemblance between the name of this people and the word myrmex ("ant") invented several contradictory explanations for it." blah blah blah "The Myrmidons are perhaps best known as the soldiers whom Peleus' son, Achilles, led to Troy"
And then of course the Forest Giants are almost certainly (their four letter code for myth I was " ent") Ents from Tolkien.
