Norse Mythology
Taught by Jonathan Soma
Soma was born in the South, is what someone from the North would say. He co-founded the Brainery, is the sciencey half of Masters of Social Gastronomy, and plans on getting married to Waffle House. In his more droll moments he is a tragic sellout to higher ed as a professor of data journalism at Columbia University's journalism school.

While we all know a Greek myth or two, but when it comes to ancient tales of Scandinavia our childhood seems to've left us in the dark.
Norse myths are fun, raucous and a little bit crazy. One-eyed gods, gigantic trees, squirrels with names, men giving birth to horses, and plenty of big ol' beards.
And our old friend Thor, of course (Avengers need not apply).
Come get some background on the universe of Norse myths: the beginning of time, the world-refreshing apocalypse and all the zany antics in between.
