*The skinny… Scandinavian: Norway and Sweden Farmers and fishermen Greenland/Iceland Mysterious peaceful but hopeless life Legend has it that the Vikings found Iceland and LOVED it, to keep others from taking over or coming to visit, they named it “Iceland” which is pronounced IS-land in Norweigen. Though it IS icy, it also has volcanoes and is known as the land of fire and ice. They named Greenland the way they did to make it more appealing. -we don’t know much about what their culture was like in their villages BUT we do know that they worshipped gods who eventually die, hopeless life-more on mythology later in ppt

*Bad boys for life- Quick, efficient ships Blitz krieg style raid Show me the $$$ Paying off the bad guys Blitz krieg: when Vikings would overtake a town, they would dock the ship, invade-loot, rape, pillage and plunder and be back OUT of the city in about 15 minutes. The local officials had almost no time to react. Churches were the first place most Vikings went because that was where the wealth was found at this time. ALSO: in order to prevent invasions, locals began to pay the Vikings a lump sum to keep them away…

“Viking” ladies? The word “Viking” refers to the men who were warriors, but not the women. Women in Viking society kept the children and the home much like in other societies at the time.

What if god was one of us? Odin: chief of gods. Overthrew the giants to create the world. Wife is Frigg (aka: Freya). Sacred animal is the raven. One-eyed. Will eventually die… Wednesday is named after his German name. Odin, like Zeus, overthrew their creators to make the world. (Odin fashioned the world from the remains of the giant Ymir). Odin has one eye because he exchanged the other for wisdom.

… Loki: god of mischief, gives humans “gifts” like fire. All the gods will die eventually because Loki will lead the giants against the gods. Ragnorak Loki gives humans gifts to create trouble and to help-fire and the fishing net for example. Ragnorak is the day all the gods will die.

… Thor: god of war. Son of Odin. Often shown with his hammer. Popular with the lower, warrior class. Second in importance only to his father.

… Freya/Frigg: Odin’s wife-blonde hair, blue eyes, Friday is named after her. Asgard: where gods live… When you die, you all go to the Underworld. No rewards for good behavior…

Famous Vikings Erik the Red: banished from Iceland for murder, sailed west and discovered Greenland. Explored for 3 years. Returned to Iceland and led a settlement group back to Greenland. His wife is Christian.

Leif Eriksson: Erik’s son Leif Eriksson: Erik’s son. Lived in Iceland, supposed to convert Greenland to Christianity but blown off course-found North America instead.

Where are they now? Vikings eventually convert to Christianity. They welcomed the idea of Jesus because he was a human sacrifice for the souls of everyone else. Vikings were familiar with this kind of trade due to their “gift giving” belief system…
