As a Finn (and huge Gaiman fan, Fry also) Norse mythology is quite familiar to me. But I do like the Finnish mythology "Kalevala", composed from stories and songs that were passed down by speech. In Kalevala there is no pantheon, but the main "hero" is a shaman type "sage forever-being" "Väinämöinen. Who for example "sings into swamp" one younger challenger, "Lemminkäinen" (roughly translated as 'loverboy', whom with they have many a song contest). Väinämöinen goes on abducting virgins and stealing a cornucopia-type mill from the hag of the North and is unique collected tribal-based shamanistic book of Finnish mythology.

There's even a national instrument, the kannel, a string instrument you play on your lap. Väinämöinen had a kannel made from a jaw-bone of a monstrous salmon.

A disclaimer; I agree with all with the articulate fans of Neil Gaiman's work forever and from the bottom of my heart. I am a person who once begins talking, finds it hard to stop. It's hard to navigate. I love this conversation between 2 people I admire inordinately, saw Stephen Fry's Mythos at the Shaw Festival in Canada a while back and was blown away. Neil Gaiman you are a treasure but you talk more than I do. I know this qualifies as the squeak of a mouse but squeak I must!

I read that myth as not being a punishment but a blessing, as it were, or pity. I just briefly came across it when studying into mythology myself for my own world/novel series (it has been noted in relation to Tolkien's giant talking spiders, where, he may have invented such things, although, as Fry just said, the Greeks had a giant spider myth, but, it's assumed that Tolkien had no knowledge of this (also worth noting, therefore, that this means Jo's giant talking spider in Harry Potter is a Tolkien myth, although, this doesn't mean she 'stole' it, this is very narrow strange thinking, it seems).

The old Walhalla comic books actually showed the north mythology like that. Despite being comics and funny and stuff they were probbaly closer to the real mythology than many other books with that topic. Especially Loki being a rather complicated character far from being plain evil.

I've oft heard mention of Neil Gaiman's wife, but never had the pleasure of seeing what she looked like. I'm never sure if Neil is a creation of Tim Burton, or if it's the other way around, but to see that she appears as though she was dragged through a chandelier backwards is of no great surprise, and complementary to his own strong aesthetic.

@@zooksy4541 Very impressive, you're a feminist. Here's an interesting concept: not every insult towards a woman is based solely on her gender. Amanda Palmer is a nauseating human being. That has nothing to do with her being a woman or the poem she was reading. Accusing people of being misogynists because they don't like a person who happens to be a woman is not real feminism. What you think is standing up for "feminism" is actually alienating people who aren't misogynists and in turn, making people think less of feminists.

@morthim 3 роки тому
@@eclairz9275 he has been getting steadily more politically opinionated, and more out of date. In one of the more recent things i saw, he was wondering how the brexit refferendum would turn out. So i double checked that it wasn't from before, and it wasnt. Then in a couple things after the referendum and in the last year or so, he was talking all sorts of shit about the different parties. It would be fine if he was informed and was critical of less informed people, but he isn't. He is critical of things he doesn't understand, but not even in a humorous way. It isnt that the world is maddeningly complex, though it relatively is compared to his time as a comedian. Its that he doesn't have the capacity to destinguish between different types of opinions. So if some fisherman says he hates how fishing rights went to the eu, that guy must be a liar who is really a racist. The guy angry that police are going after nonviolent offenders instead of grooming gangs, also a racist. The person frustrated that the world is slipping into automation and a cctv state, clearly a misogynist. The criticisms are out of date, the narrative is stale and cliche, and unlike real comedy it doesn't reflect anything remotely true. He just didn't realize you cant use plurality views ironicly.
