TED-Ed Thanks..!!
TED-Ed Make a video on how Loki became a horse & got pregnant just for a contracting discount
TED-Ed i love you. i love norse mythology. I want to know about it .But i dont have any money.😑😑😑
Why don't the Norse worship the giants if they are more powerful than the gods?
pls tell addison anderson is narrating the audio book
Anyone noticed Loki tricked the giant so that he can eat free food?
didn't think about it that way. lol
Loki you trickster you.
LOKI'D
Yummy
Loki is a G
“But. My hammer,’ said Thor.
‘Shut up, Thor,’ said Loki.”

Neil gaiman?
best quote ever
thalfi: "Isn't it weird the king of giants and loki have the same name?"
thor: "nah"
Well actually I’m pretty sure Utgard Loki is called that because he’s manipulative and a trickster. I don’t think it’s his real name.
Well I looked it up, and apparently Loki means 'King', and Utgard-Loki means Loki of the outlands
@@anintellectual9839 so Loki is pretty much just named King? Sick!
@@anintellectual9839 that means loki is the rightful king of ASGARD
@@anintellectual9839 Where did you find that? Because I'm pretty sure Loki does not mean "king."
Thalfi:I can outrun anything in the wild
Thor: I am mightier than all of you
Loki: I can eat really fast
Lol!!
true power
Can't?
Actually Loki was a trickster god and his speciality wasnt eating. He was actually a very slow eater. Rather he tricked the giants out of a free meal
u spelled Thalfi's name wrong so im just correcting-no offense
Anyone else impressed that a mortal almost outran thought itself?
Dude must dedicate to his leg days.
NonLogicUser or else thought might've had a few too many meetings with Elli and got Parkinson. Just a guess.
Professorbairos I can imagine a version of this story where Thjalfi goes and makes several distractions before the race so Thought loses track of what he's doing and loses.
or thought thinks slow ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
NonLogicUser it’s *always* leg day
Leg days doesn't make you fast or else mr olympiads would be the fastest
Kudos to the artist for not using the Marvel versions of Thor or Loki!
I think the artist is inspired by an old Danish cartoon named Valhalla
czcams.com/video/XwAGt9dvZdo/video.html
Indeed he is GorillaGuerilla
I mean I LOVE marvel, but it's obviously not supposed to be realistic representations of Norse mythology
AND ACTUALLY MAKING THOR A FRICKING REDHEAD!
Too many people think of the comic book when it comes to Thor...Marvel got so many things wrong i really dont want to type them all but for instance Loki is Odins blood brother he is also a fire giant not an ice giant Hella is Lokis daughter not odins there is way more but the one that gets me the most...Heimdall...he is the whitest of all the gods and the actor they chose was black...i mean really?....more people should do the actual research on the European lore and stop thinking the comic book is the real mythology
Thor, Loki and Thjalfi: *show how strong they are*
King of Giants: "Thanks! I hate it!!!"
Thor, Loki, and thjialfi could destroy hi giants so he was so scared he didn’t let them in his land
he didn't hate it he was scared of it.
Thor and Thjalfi: Having really useful powers
King of Giants: ahh scary
meanwhile Loki: haha I can eat fast
Thor and Loki lost because they didn't do "get help"
of course they wouldn't, it's humiliating.

Minor point, the "giants" in old Norse mythology aren't actually "giants" the way we think of them. It's sort of a cross translation thing, but giants are are actually the same species as the gods, they're just a different family, so they're the same size as the gods, and completely humanoid.
Thank you. I was also taught as a child (Swedish, so these myths were as important as the Christian ones) that Loki WAS a giant, he just lived with the Aesir.
Kinda like the titans of Greek mythology
Some individuals were described as big
Some are big like skrymir, surtur, Ymir, holy cow, and other giants in Jotunheim even Tyr's father
They are not the same species as the gods.
Gods are Aser or "Æsir". And as we all know, the "Giants" are Jötunn.

Endgame Thor
Wow. I’m so used to Greek mythology that I assumed all myths end with the moral basically boiling down to: don’t mess with arrogant gods.
So fascinating and refreshing to learn of one with actual morals.
Yeah, I prefer any mythology over Greco-Roman myth. :D
Nordic Mythology ends with Ragnarökr - where many of the Gods die!
(For the world to end - and go back to the stage where it was before - and all can start all over again)
GorillaGuerilla not really; it’s not perfectly circular. The new gods are different from the old ones, as are their origins.

Thor raised the horn to his lips, and drank the surprisingly cold, and salty mead, in the longest gulps he could muster

@@sudhanshchourasia6454 true
"'Shut up, Thor' said Loki" honestly..... those two in a nutshell
Never knew Loki had another super ability
Marvel should use that in contest with Thanos
Who ever eats more and fast gets infinity stones
Nah, he just tricked the giants to get free food
Loki is also Sleipnir and Jormungandr's mothers.
Yes, mothers. He made himself female.
Marvel ruined Norse Mythology. If you have read Magnus Chase, you will know. I love the series. But Marvel didn't do Norse any justice. The rest is OK
Are you guys kidding, Thor is marvellous (as in amazing)
What I want to see more than anything is for them to give Thor his goats. Marvel leaves out all the best parts. They also inexplicably named Loki's father in the movies after his mother in the myths.
1:27
“Loki went first, declaring himself the world’s fastest eater.”
Me: “HOLD MY MEAD!”
I would probably win because my stomach is like Kirby’s stomach
This is probably the most significant of all the Norse myths. It’s not about victory or fame or glory, it’s about the constant push to attempt what is deemed impossible, to not fear failure.
In Icelandic, these are the rough translations for the names
Logi = flame
Hugi = mind
Elli = old age
Palli Orri Cool!
Yeah, you see the twist from a mile away as an Icelandic person. It's still pretty cool.
It makes sense considering Icelandic is linguistically very close to what these myths were written/ told in.
+Matt M. Didnt the norse name iceland and greenland?
Bill Cipher Settlers of Iceland were mainly from Norway. So much that old norse is very close to Icelandic today.
This was extremely entertaining
Onlime I can't get the image of Loki (the one in Avengers) eating food as fast as he can, then looking up and seeing nothing in front of him because of the wildfire.
The book the video recommended at the end is filled with these types of stories, got it as an audio book a few years ago and have listened to it numerous times and the stories never felt old.
Onlime is
Kratos: BOI, How is this Possible? We went to Jotunheim together not with Thor or a servant. And why did you help Thor steal back the Hammer?
Atreus: Hey, I'm just as baffled as you are!
Mimir: Meh, Alternative Universe Perhaps?
Stan Lee (Special Guest): What's up true Believers! Go purchase the Recent Avengers and Thor Comic today!! :D
Onlime maybe you would like the Rick Riordan Books about Norse mythology called Magnus Chase
I underestimate the story until the twist. It's so beautiful. Thank you, Ted Ed.
Norse mythology is better than any Marvel thor movie
The Norse Mythology is home to a plethora of massively interesting stories that doesn't always seem to teach us a specific lesson. It feels actually like a chronicle as a whole. Thanks for the interesting and amazing content and hope to see more.
That was such an inspirational quote
Billy K it cured my crippling depression

"But my hammer",said Thor "Shut up,Thor" said Loki

Norse mythology: No one can beat old age, weakening even the strongest warriors
Greek mythology: Zeus fell in love with a bull, and got a child with it.
SuicideBunny6
Don't forget the eschatology of Norse mythology; Ragnarök, the event where most of the gods die - not even the apocalypse comes close to the drama offered in Norse mythology....
As a Norwegian I might be biased, but sometimes I think that Norse Mythology is both cool and waaay too underrated. Parts like these could *almost* be called philosophy. Not saying that Greek, Roman or Hindu mythologies/religions are boring, of course, as those are awesome too.
SuicideBunny6 Too bad norse storytelling didn't build Athens and Sparta. Where are the norse relics? Wood huts?
+Professorbairos
As a fellow Scandinavian, I've always loved our common history, and especially the old tales about the gods.
Aside from the obvious bias we both feel, I think the nature of Norse mythology just resonates a lot more with humans than f.ex the old Greco-Roman gods!
Now sure, as +Alex pointed out, the Greeks build massive impressive structures to their gods, and regarding ancient Philosophy, no one has contributed as much to Europeans way of seeing themselves, as the old Greeks did!
But their gods just don't resonate in same way, the Norse gods is in touch with nature, they ARE nature!
Their roots in old shamanistic religions is just closer to the entire human experience!
Perhaps it also contributes to the fascinating mythology that it really is a melting pot, with Druidic and Shamanistic influences, coming from east, north east and south west and pantheons of gods from south and south east! If you dive deep into analyzing it, while looking at population movement it ---
+GorillaGuerilla continues)
--- it becomes even more fascinating!
I spend a great deal of time around Christmas researching the roots of Santa, (how Óðinn is the original Santa), and it was amazing how roots to certain elements could be tracked all the way back in time, back through history and through routes crossing down through eastern Europe and Eurasia and Asia - with elements from the Vedas.....

TedED: "Thor is stuggling against his greatest challenge yet"
also TedED: *"Opening a bag of food"*
When I was 11 this was one of my favorite stories. I laughed so hard that Thor had drank up part of the ocean.
That part boggled my mind a bit. But because in the story I heard, the tip of the drinking horn had an opening and that opening was beneath the water. Which seemed weird because I knew water didn't flow upwards (from the ocean), usually.
Maybe it was my dad's creative take on it though, don't recall.

True.
Kentr, though they changed the actual myth in Ragnarok, Thor Ragnarok was good.
For those who want to know, the contestants' true names are references to their "identities" as their names are also names for things in Icelandic
Logi: flame
Hugi: Mind
Elli: Old age
It's really neat that modern Icelandic still has a good connection with Old Norse, which is the language most Norse myths are written in.

RICH TUBE thats what i think everytime😜
Not really a twist when you read the story in Icelandic.
Logi (Icelandic word for flame)
Hugi (Icelandic word for mind)
Elli (Icelandic word for old age)
Not everyone is a know it all
Elmar A. Hannah damnnnn!!! Mind blown
I'm not a know it all. I just happen to have been born in a country that still speaks the same language that the ancient Norse people spoke.
It is the same in Danish.
Lue, Hu (which also means to do something fast) and Elle (ælde).
My guess is that all the countries with the mythology named the characters after real things.
The difference between those are that the original texts are almost exactly the same as the Icelandic language but only some words are the same in danish, most are just related (I speak danish too)
Loki is also the God of Fire, so Logi is just a servant of Loki.
Which means, Loki still won.
Loki is the god of fire?????? I don't think so

He did a tug of war with a goat, and the rope was tied to his testicles ;)
from what i learned in school is that Loki got pregnant with horse named, Svaðilfari. Then that horse was born and was the fastest horse and became Odin's stallion, Sleipnir, the eight legged horse.
that is correct.

I’ve read Norse Mythology and the moment I started this video I knew what it was and got super excited! Norse mythology is the greatest!!!
Can confirm “Norse Mythology” by Niel Gaimen is a quality book
You might as well give a shot to Greek mythology.
So I have questions... Aren't Thor and Loki enemies?🤔
I mean Ragnarok starts when Loki breaks free of the cave and kills balder, Thor's half brother
Also, isn't Loki a giant himself?🤔
@@mohsh3946 This is late, but if you're still curious...
Loki was chained up because he killed Baldur, or rather tricked someone into killing him. Loki is indeed a giant, which in Norse mythology are not the typical half-witted huge cannibals we might think of. They were a magical, powerful and intelligent race pretty similar to gods, which were themselves in several groups. The ones we know the most about are the Aesir, who lived in Asgard.
Thor and Loki fought and quarreled all the time, but I wouldn't say they were truly enemies. Thor was generally a pretty hot-headed guy and Loki had a habit of tricking and cheating people. But things always seemed to work out between them, until later on. The death of Baldur was the final straw for the Aesir, including Thor. That's when they killed Loki's sons, chained him to a rock and made a snake drip acid onto his face endlessly.
So at that point, yes, they were essentially enemies. It was said that Loki would someday break free and rally the giants to attack the Aesir alongside his other children, Fenrir and the World Serpent. Interestingly though, Thor and Loki don't actually fight in most accounts of Ragnarok. Odin is killed by Fenrir, Thor and the World Serpent kill each other, but Loki and Thor don't actually face each other to my knowledge.

Ohh my, it can't be Someone on youtube who DON'T use marvels "Thor" and instead uses what he is descriped as in the stories! Im impressed.
Mathias Andersen He is only described in Gylfaginning
Go check out Overly Sarcastic Productions, for their video for the Poetic Edda, the narrator, Red, outright tells the viewer to leave their "Marvel-based assumptions at the door". She actually draws Loki with his proper hair color!
Omg I can’t believe you recommend Norse Mythology the book I got it a few days ago and my eyes have been glued to it since I only stopped reading it to watch this video
I just LOVE Neil Gaiman. He knows everything about Norse mythology
The intro was a Bible like word for
Thor:but my hammer-
Loki:shut up
This is one of my favorite stories out of the whole mythos, however you did neglect some things like how Thjalfi came to be with Thor and Loki because Loki tricked Thjalfi into eating the bones of one of Thor’s magical goats so Thjalfi had to pull their chariot instead. Thor’s belt was also important since if he tightened it, he would grow stronger and stronger.
I revisited this video right after reading the chapter from Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology.
This is perhaps my most favourite Ted ed Video. Such deep meaning.. I come back to it often. ❤
I bought the audiobook and niel is such a good author and i would 100% recommend buying it. And even i dont read much but love it.
I love this! Hoping that more Norse myths can be animated in the future like this.
"Thjalfi couldn't outrun Hugi because Hugi was the embodiment of thought, always faster than action."
No worries Thjalfi, you just need some Ultra Instinct and you'll be good.

Great story, great art, as always. More about Norse Mythology plz, Ted-ed! This is one of my favorite Nordic myths because it is both a way to explain natural phenomenons as well as containing great plot twists. I have read Neil Gayman's book already. I can thorougly reccomend it to anyone either wanting to get into Nordic mythology or anyone as wise as a Völva already. It's the most entertaining version of the famous myths I have ever read.
That quote though...
Gotta love Neil Gaiman!
Ted-Ed's animation never fails to impress me..💝💝💝

Man i love these videos about mythology from other cultures that Ted-Ed does. I love the simplicity yet deep depth in the art!

Did no one notice how Thalfi put his thumb up and Thor put it down when Utgard-Loki was congratulating them?
I was waiting for Loki to flip the bird.
i love that videos like that still make it on trending and it's not just random clickbait! gives me hope that people still want channels like TED (or mine) 😃
I like how, at the end, he gives them thumbs up for "you guys put a lot of effort into doing what you did, and you should be proud!" And the human guy gives him one like "hey, thanks!" And then Thor just pulls his arm back down.
wow i wasnt expecting that ending. This is why i loved learning Mythology in gradeschool man all these crazy cool concepts to wrap your head around.
growing up with these stories, it's always interesting to see interpretations of the various characters. This was quite faithful to the eddas ^^d
