Re: Take a look at Nordic Mythos orius Send a noteboard - 05/09/2010 07:18:22 AM
You have the Father, the Warrior, and the Trickster. Odin, Thor, and Loki. I think this has been done before, but there are bits and pieces taken from each into all three, but predominantely I see Rand as the Father, Perrin ironically enough as the Warrior, and Mat as the Trickster


I've seen a slightly different setup:

Rand as Tyr, they both lose a hand, and Tyr's a warrior god.

Mat as Odin: Odin hung from Yggdrasil for knowledge, he fights with a spear, he's attended by two ravens (whose names mean Thought and Memory), he wears a wide-brimmed hat, and lost an eye (as people suspect is going to happen in ToM). Mat is clearly more related to Odin than Loki.

Perrin as Thor: Naturally, though he's a lot closer to the Slavic god Perun.

The fact that you would call the Holy Ghost a vessel in that sense shows how little you know Cannoli - 05/09/2010 07:55:57 PM 615 Views

You have the mythology wrong, was my main point. Cannoli - 06/09/2010 01:07:01 AM 544 Views
I wonder if those are the archetypes on which the buddy-cop dynamic is based. Cannoli - 05/09/2010 06:33:56 AM 571 Views
