"Although many sources say that kissing under the mistletoe is a purely English custom, there's another, more charming explanation for its origin that extends back into Norse mythology. It's the story of a loving, if overprotective, mother.\n\nThe Norse god Balder was the best loved of all the gods. His mother was Frigga, goddess of love and beauty. She loved her son so much that she wanted to make sure no harm would come to him. So she went through the world, securing promises from everything that sprang from the four elements--fire, water, air, and earth--that they would not harm her beloved Balder.\n\nLeave it to Loki, a sly, evil spirit, to find the loophole. The loophole was mistletoe. He made an arrow from its wood. To make the prank even nastier, he took the arrow to Hoder, Balder's brother, who was blind. Guiding Holder's hand, Loki directed the arrow at Balder's heart, and he fell dead.\n\nFrigga's tears became the mistletoe's white berries. In the version of the story with a happy ending, Balder is restored to life, and Frigga is so grateful that she reverses the reputation of the offending plant--making it a symbol of love and promising to bestow a kiss upon anyone who passes under it.

It's basically the story of one girl's fight for independance in a male-dominated society.  Catherine, living during the Renaissance ages, is to marry a man chosen by her father whom she despises.  Throughout the book she fends off suitors, namely one she lovingly calls "Sir Shaggy Beard."  Eventually he dies in the end in a tragic accident and she marries a better man and it's all happily ever after.

First there is a link below with an annotated version. It is below if you want to read it.\n\nONCE upon a time an old queen, whose husband had been dead for many years, had a beautiful daughter. When she grew up she was betrothed to a prince who lived a great way off. Now, when the time drew near for her to be married and to depart into a foreign kingdom, her old mother gave her much costly baggage, and many ornaments, gold and silver, trinkets and knicknacks, and, in fact, everything that belonged to a royal trousseau, for she loved her daughter very dearly. She gave her a waiting- maid also, who was to ride with her and hand her over to the bridegroom, and she provided each of them with a horse for the journey. Now the Princess's horse was called Falada, and could speak.\n\nWhen the hour for departure drew near the old mother went to her bedroom, and taking a small knife she cut her fingers till they bled; then she held a white rag under them, and letting three drops of blood fall into it, she gave it to her daughter, and said: "Dear child, take great care of this rag: it may be of use to you on the journey."\n\nSo they took a sad farewell of each other, and the Princess stuck the rag in front of her dress, mounted her horse, and set forth on the journey to her bridegroom's kingdom. After they had ridden for about an hour the Princess began to feel very thirsty, and said to her waiting- maid: "Pray get down and fetch me some water in my golden cup out of yonder stream: I would like a drink." \n\n"If you're thirsty," said the maid, "dismount yourself, and lie down by the water and drink; I don't mean to be your servant any longer."The Princess was so thirsty that she got down, bent over the stream, and drank, for she wasn't allowed to drink out of the golden goblet. As she drank she murmured: "Oh! heaven, what am I to do?" and the three drops of blood replied:\n\n"If your mother only knew,\nHer heart would surely break in two."\n\nBut the Princess was meek, and said nothing about her maid's rude behavior, and quietly mounted her horse again. They rode on their way for several miles, but the day was hot, and the sun's rays smote fiercely on them, so that the Princess was soon overcome by thirst again. And as they passed a brook she called once more to her waiting-maid: "Pray get down and give me a drink from my golden cup," for she had long ago forgotten her maid's rude words. But the waiting-maid replied, more haughtily even than before: "If you want a drink, you can dismount and get it; I don't mean to be your servant." Then the Princess was compelled by her thirst to get down, and bending over the flowing water she cried and said: "Oh! heaven, what am I to do?" and the three drops of blood replied:\n\n"If your mother only knew,\nHer heart would surely break in two."\n\nAnd as she drank thus, and leaned right over the water, the rag containing the three drops of blood fell from her bosom and floated down the stream, and she in her anxiety never even noticed her loss. But the waiting-maid had observed it with delight, as she knew it gave her power over the bride, for in losing the drops of blood the Princess had become weak and powerless. When she wished to get on her horse Falada again, the waiting- maid called out: "I mean to ride Falada: you must mount my beast"; and this too she had to submit to. Then the waiting-maid commanded her harshly to take off her royal robes, and to put on her common ones, and finally she made her swear by heaven not to say a word about the matter when they reached the palace; and if she hadn't taken this oath she would have been killed on the spot. But Falada observed everything, and laid it all to heart.\n\nThe waiting-maid now mounted Falada, and the real bride the worse horse, and so they continued their journey till at length they arrived at th

No One knows that!\nBeowulf , written in Old English sometime before the tenth century A.D., describes the adventures of a great Scandinavian warrior of the sixth century.\nA rich fabric of fact and fancy,Beowulf is the oldest surviving epic in British literature.\nBeowulf exists in only one manuscript. This copy survived both the wholesale destruction of religious artifacts during the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII and a disastrous fire which destroyed the library of Sir Robert Bruce Cotton (1571-1631).

It all starts with King Minos. He did something that offended the gods (I can't rember what) and as punishment, his wife, Pacifae, fell in love with a beautiful bull. In order to seduce the bull, she had her craftsman, Daedalus, craft a bull outfit for her, and she then boinked the bull. The offspring of the beastly (pardon the pun) act was the minotaur, who was then kept in the catacombs, which were also crafted by Daedalus. The minotaur required sacrifices to be made to him, but King Minos' daughter fell in love with one of the 'sacrifices', named Theseus. She convinced Daedalus to tell her the secrets of the catacombs, in order to allow Theseus to escape. The secret was to tie some string to a rock and follow it. He killed the minotaur and escaped. For this deed, Daedalus and his son, Icarus, were confined to a tower prison, and from here stems the tale of the wax wings, and Icarus' death.

The ram with golden fleece was a gift from Mercury to Nephele, to get her children away from their step-mother.  (Ancient child custody issues.)  The girl drowned, but the boy was "hospitably received" by Aetes, King of Colchis.  The boy then sacrificed the ram to Jupiter and gave the golden fleece to his host.  He placed it in a consecrated grove with a dragon to guard it.  Eventually, Jason's uncle, who was supposed to surrender the throne of his kingdom when he reached maturity, sent him on a wild goose chase, er golden fleece quest, claiming the fleece was the rightful property of their kingdom.  Which it was not.  Anyway, Jason rounded up a tough bunch of friends of his, and off they went looking for the fleece.\n\nFrom this point on, you can substitute what you know of grail quests, for the symbols and traditions have been intermingled for centuries.  One of the challenges Jason faces is a wily king with a beautiful sorceress for a daughter, named Medea.  Naturally, she becomes instrumental in his success.  Brave hero and beautiful witch.  Haven't we heard that one before a time or two?\n\nFrom here, I'll let you work out the secondary meanings.  The primary one should be obvious enough: the cooperation of Jason and Medea overcame all obstacles, where neither one would have succeeded without the other.

She's the symbol of strength.  A heroine, I suppose.  She stole food for her family, and that was basically for survival.  I think in the end, she lost all her family.

That is a garbled version of the opening sentence of ‘Beowulf’.\n\nBeowulf begins:\nhwæt we gar-dena in geardagum, \nþeodcyninga þrym gefrunon, \nhu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon. \noft scyld scefing sceaþena þreatum, \nmonegum mægþum meodosetla ofteah, \negsode eorlas, syððan ærest wearð\nfeasceaft funden; he þæs frofre gebad, \nweox under wolcnum, weorðmyndum þah, \noðþæt him æghwylc þær ymbsittendra \nofer hronrade hyran scolde, \ngomban gyldan. þæt wæs god cyning!\n\nThe translation is:\nLo, praise of the prowess of people-kings \nof spear-armed Danes, in days long sped, \nwe have heard, and what honour the athelings won! \nOft Scyld the Scefing from squadroned foes, \nfrom many a tribe, the mead-bench tore, \nawing the earls. Since erst he lay, \nfriendless, a foundling, fate repaid him: \nfor he waxed under welkin, in wealth he throve, \ntill before him the folk, both far and near, \nwho house by the whale-path, heard his mandate, \ngave him gifts: a good king he!

Ten years before her death, Joan hears voices. Six years later, from the village of Domremy, she begins her mission to unite France under King Charles. First she leads a defense of Vaucouleurs against the Burgundians, then obtains safe passage to Charles, the Dauphin. He uses her, as the embodiment of the mythical "Maid of Lorraine," to raise an army, and he sends her to the rescue of Orléans. After Charles is crowned, Joan leads a disastrous campaign in Paris, where her brother dies. Then she's the victim of Charles's manipulations: she's captured in Burgundy, sold to the English, examined by Bishop Cauchon, found a heretic by the Inquisition, and burned at the stake.

Roughly translated, it goes something like this:\n\nThe grandfather of Perseus was fearing him on account of the oracle, and he took up a plan by which he was able to kill him even now, an infant with his mother.\n\nThey used to take away at birth an unwanted newborn baby and leave it out exposed to die, and here the grandfather has some plan to do away with Perseus even though he was not taken away from his mother when he was first born.

Thank you I was wondering her name for a while.\n\n1. What is her tue name? She had diffent names throughout Europe so I'd be curious if Frigga was her true name of not?\n\n2. Why didn't you have more kids, I mean the greek Gods really got it on. I would think since the Norse are based out of a colder country they would be trying to stay warm more.
