THE MYTHS OF THE RAGNAROK OF THE GOD

On this occasion I will discuss MYTHS, this myth is quite famous, but this myth is very unique, that is about the death of the gods according to nordic mythology. Indeed I am very fond of mythos especially with the myth of nordic mythology.

Speaking of Nordic mythology (Northern Europe), it would not be complete without the Ragnarok story.

Ragnarok is a story about a big war in the future that involves many norse gods and monsters of mythology in the vigrid field. In the war, there will be many important figures who will be present who will win and those who will die. That's why this war called Rangnarok, or the destiny of the gods.

The story of Ragnarok itself comes from the ancient literary works of Edda's poetry and prose written in the 13th century, where in the work also mentioned there are 4 marks of the beginning of Ragnarok.Yang first is the birth of 3 powerful giant monster from Loki and Angrboda pair that is Fenrir, Jormungandr, and Hel, the second is Balder's death due to Loki's ultimate, the third winter appearance that made the world dark for 3 years, and the last ever increasing number of wars in the human world.

It was foreseeing that this would happen when Ragnarok: The fierce battles of gods with their mortal enemies and the Tyr god of war, who had only one hand, succeeded in killing Garm's hell dog despite having to die after being seriously wounded.

A similar fate will also happen to Thor who is known to kill Jormungandr, Loki's son, but also died of Jormungandr's poison. Loki will fight Heimdall as strong as himself, and both will die simultaneously.

Odin will be killed by Fenrir, where Odin's son, Vidar, will avenge his father. And in the midst of an increasingly blind war, the Earth will burn out by the flames of Surt fire, then the world will be pitch dark after the Sun and Moon eaten by Skoll and Heart wolves.

Efforts to prevent the occurrence of Ragnarok itself has been done by Odin by throwing the three children Loki, who predicted will be the opposite of the gods in war. Unfortunately, these efforts still can not prevent the occurrence of Ragnarok.
