Using Viking myths as historical sources may present challenges due to their mythological and legendary nature. These myths were often passed down orally and may have evolved over time, making it difficult to determine their accuracy. Additionally, Viking myths were usually written down by Christian scholars who may have altered or interpreted them through a Christian lens, affecting the reliability of the information.
