Norse myths date back to the early medieval period, with origins in oral tradition likely established as far back as the 8th century. The myths were later recorded in texts such as the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda, compiled in the 13th century. These stories reflect the beliefs and culture of the Norse people, particularly in Scandinavia, before the widespread adoption of Christianity. Overall, the myths are over a thousand years old, with roots extending even further into prehistory.
