Norse vs greek (again)?

i thought that comparing odin to a greek god would be confusing b/c he can be compared to a couple different ones so i decided to do the norns vs the fates...


is the following a good single uniting myth that contains similarities and differences b/w the two cultures?


the norns and their story about telling odin he's going to die in that final war vs appollo persuading the fates to let Admetus live?


if not, can you suggest something else?


thanks for the help|||Yes it is very similar, because the norns and the fates are almost the same people, but there are enough differences in those 2 myths to make it a good comparison.|||Norse, Valhalla is just such a cool place|||http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norns





See this and then go see this:

Norns = Moirae
