I mean... not to be the big downer or sound harsh or anything, but there is a reason for that... Swedish vikings really didn't do much other than fight the Danes and Norweigans constantly... They aren't known for settling anywhere really, compared to Norweigan and Danish vikings, and from what I remember, they practically only were part of the Danish and Norweigan "trips" because they had the number... aka, cannon fodder. Denmark doesn't even have THAT many well known vikings compared to Norway, but we still settled so many places and traveled so much that we tend to be on the forefront WITH norway in media and history. Most sagas were written in Denmark too.

@@tugboat945 Completely wrong. Language is bound up with culture, and usually genes as well. There is a clear spread of material culture as well as genetics out from where the Urheimat has been triangulated. Only in exceptional circumstances is there language transfer with minimal cultural or genetic input. It's completely wrong to posit that languages are amorphous clouds, which float over whatever lands & peoples they will. Even in cases where a people have undergone language transfer without much accompanying admixture, a language is still rightly considered to have originated in one group and been transferred to a foreign group, for whatever reason; this process terminates somewhere, in some people. Yes, much of the world speaks English and French now, but why? Because of a transfer onto their populations by the ruling colonial powers. The languages as spoken by colonized people don't have the same relationship to those people as they do the people who first deposited them. And, as previously said, there usually is accompanying genetic and cultural input. Language transfer and cultural development are not completely rigid, or perfectly associated with each other, that's true. But they certainly are strongly tied with each other. It's hard to learn languages. People don't want to give up their native languages. People value their cultures and their religions. Of course these things are correlated. To say that language is not culture is to lie with the truth. Culture History is back.

Speaking of fucked up societies... There is a story about Thor, who was out traveling (can't remember where or why) but he had been traveling till dark, under rain. He then comes by a lone house, with a family. The family is overjoyed to see Thor in the flesh, and offer him lodging and food. He accepts, and essentially the story ends with Thor having eaten and drank practically everything the family had, and then proceeds to kill and rape the mother of said family before going on with his travels. Hard to see why Vikings were the way they were :p

I don't know where you heard this, but that's not at all the original story. The family took him in during a massive storm and kept him for nearly a week so that he could be safe. He ended up eating their winter stock and before he left, he gifted them an immortal goat and a cup that would automatically refill itself so that they would never starve. He was on his way to kill some giants that were terrorizing the locals. Thor was actually known to be more of a hero in most of his stories, often being the defining factor and saving people, especially Loki who didn't know how to stay out of trouble. Not everything in a culture is all doom and gloom, because, well, that's just not how all humans are lol. If that were so, we would not exist in the society it do today.

" They lived in a society where that's what their rulers were like, so that's what Zeus was going to be like" that actually a good insight. Their gods are reflection of their culture and ideal of the time. Zeus was a horndog was because rulers at the time had numerous wife and concubines. No way was the king of their gods was going to be a beta virgin loser. Its also probably tied to their ancient idea of masculinity with virility. Every sons of Zeus became great hero. So the sons of their kings are destined for similar greatness.
