The Roman one was a joke xD, but I haven't read all that much about Norse mythology,  but I might do that some time, I liked the Greek though. (The Greek names are way better than the Roman ones btw The Greek names are a lot cooler, I agree. "Zeus" sounds so much better than "Jupiter".

Since when did Christians destroy records of Norse mythology? Never heard that before.

I love how the real life peoples of ancient Greece thought they had a personal connection with certain gods, like the Spartans being descended from Heracles, and they even acted upon those belifs. It makes it a whole lot more interesting for me. Christians kept trying to convert Vikings to Christianity, which never really worked, and plus the Vikings would often loot and plunder churches. Eventually, when the Vikings converted, Christians forbade retelling of the stories. They survived mostly in manuscripts that portrayed the gods as kings or heroes so that they could fit into Christianity.
