#vikings was a major breakthrough for the #history channel and has attracted fans all over the world. One of the things the show Vikings does exceptionally well is its portrayal of #norsemythology specifically how the characters interact with it. Anytime the show deals with anything supernatural they present it how the characters of the time would have viewed it. In Norse Mythology it's nothing for any of the gods such as #thor or #odin to walk around in #midgard as any other person would. The raiding party at Lindisfarne mention the lighting as Thor beating his hammer and it's insinuated that Odin interacts with the characters many times and #ragnar is actually a descendent of Odin.
