Most of the Norse gods are warriors of some kind. The Greeks have Athena, who might be able to use strategy to win... if the Greek gods were actually capable of posing a united front. Which, last time I checked, they weren't.

However, if the Olympians can convince the Aesir to fight by proxies, they win. Combining Athena's strategy with the overwhelming numbers of Zeus' progeny, they defeat the Norse heroes.

The Norse all the way! Lets face it, Thor has a hammer that can throw lightning bolts, Odin has a throne that lets him see everything, and a javlin that NEVER misses its target! Sorry, but the Norse gods win this one.

I'm going to have to go with the Aesir over the pack of drunken frat-boys and sorority chicks that make up the Greek pantheon. Odin tore out one of his own eyes in exchange for wisdom, how bad-ass is that?

Zeus can throw lightning as well. And Heracles is virtually invincible, plus he has about 500 kids. Hades has helmet of invisibility, Apollo has the sun for a chariot, Perseus has Medusa's head (which turned even mighty Atlas to stone), Ares is the God of violence and has some pretty tough sons (Cycnus built him a temple out of human bones), Athena is the goddess of war, Artemis has legions of Amazons, Dionysus has Maenads, Perseus has a sword that can cut through anything.... The list goes on....

Not sure, i think it would narrow it down a bit if there was a limit on the number of Gods who could fight and rules to how they could fight.
Like Fight club, oh no i broke the first rule!
Oh no i broke the second rule!
Oh no i've forgotten the other rules!

Which norse gods though? I mean there are really 2 factions there. Theres the "good" norse gods such as Odin, Thor, and Tyr. Theres also the "bad" norse gods, who, in some cases are not gods, but either way 2 examples of them are Fenrir and Loki. I mean, Loki alone could probably take on most of the greek gods. Hes just too damn crafty.

They have so many heroes to call to their aid. Not to mention they ahve Athena to plan for htem, Ares to go isnane and bloodthirsty, and Apollo in his chariot. And don't forget Hephaestus manning the anvil to make aromor and weapons.

Inspired by the "Which is your favourite god?" thread, Who would win in a fight between the Olympian Greco-Roman gods and the Norse gods?

The Norse gods would beat down the Greek gods, but the Greek heroes would put the beat down on Norse heroes.

I base this assessment on the fact that Diomedes, a guy we don't even remember from The Iliad, completely punked out Ares in a fight, and even the non-named people in that book could pretty much wipe out any 20 ordinary men. By contrast, I cannot recall a tale of the Norse ever truly winning against a Norse god, just earning vengeance. That tells me that Greek gods are somewhat lesser than Norse Gods, but that Greek heroes are way tougher than Norse heroes. I imagine there's faulty logic in there somewhere though. . .

All the Norse gods will die beating the Giants in a grand sacrifice guaranteeing the survival of one man, one woman, and the rebirth of Baldur.

So basically Thor strikes Apollo with a thunderbolt. Apollo says ouchs and keeps on fighting. Zeus hits Tyr with a thunderbolt, and Tyr dies.

I believe that this was covered in the Alphabet of Manliness. Quite simply put, Zeus taking it up the rear so many times in his mythos proves that he was a pansy. Odin/Wotan, on the other hand, didn't even need lightning, instead passing that boring job to his son. Odin got shit done. Zeus could hurl a lightning bolt at you, but Odin would snap his fingers, allowing him to quickly re-write time-space in order to fulfill some small curse. Heroes of Greece and Rome got to go to Elysium, where there was eternal bliss. Norse heroes went to Valhalla, where they never experienced that terrible malady known only as boredom. That, and Odin ate with freaking wolves at his table. I mean, come on, WOLVES!!!

Right, Zeus, the most powerful of the Olympians, has the same power as the second most powerful of the Aesir. The Norse are just one up in everything.

The Olympian would win, no doubt:

Norse gods could be killed, Olympians can't.

Zeus, Hades and Poseidon can shape the world itself, no Norse god could.
Only one Aesir use magic: Odinn, all Olympians could.
Norse gods cannot create living creatures, only gave birth to them, Olympians could build entire races.

So it's even not a fair fight. :D

sorry TPE, but you are no Freya and definitely not Aphrodite...

You find a basting sexual?

I ache for the touch of your lips, dear,
But much more for the touch of your whips, dear.
You can raise welts
Like nobody else,
As we dance to the Masochism Tango.

Let our love be a flame, not an ember,
Say it's me that you want to dismember.
Blacken my eye,
Set fire to my tie,
As we dance to the Masochism Tango.

At your command
Before you here I stand,
My heart is in my hand...
Yeech!
It's here that I must be.

My heart entreats,
Just hear those savage beats,
And go put on your cleats
And come and trample me.

Your heart is hard as stone or mahogany,
That's why I'm in such exquisite agony.
My soul is on fire,
It's aflame with desire,
Which is why I perspire when we tango.

You caught my nose
In your left castanet, love,
I can feel the pain yet, love,
Ev'ry time I hear drums.

And I envy the rose
That you held in your teeth, love,
With the thorns underneath, love,
Sticking into your gums.

Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches.
The last time I needed twenty stitches
To sew up the gash
That you made with your lash,
As we danced to the Masochism Tango.

Bash in my brain,
And make me scream with pain,
Then kick me once again,
And say we'll never part.

I know too well
I'm underneath your spell,
So, darling, if you smell
Something burning, it's my heart... [hiccup]
'Scuse me!

Take your cigarette from its holder,
And burn your initials in my shoulder.
Fracture my spine,
And swear that you're mine,
As we dance to the Masochism Tango.

My Norse mythology may be rusty, but didn't Odin and his brothers make the world by killing the first Ice Giant and making it out of his various body parts?

Fair enough, but Spartan warriors were actively encouraged to have sex with each other, like a bunch of pansies.
They also had long hair which they used to comb very neatly before battle, like a bunch of pansies.
Doesn't mean they weren't a nation of double hard, war-crazed maniacs who you'd be well advised not to trifle with.

And the reason Norse warriors went to Valhalla is that the gods needed their help. So much so that they were prepared to take literally anyone who died in battle. What kind of eligibility test is that? Taking the warriors who went into battle and didn't die - that I'd be up for. They sound like the kind of people you need to recruit.

*huddles in corner*

However considering the possibility of Defeating a Godlike nemisis, i find one invention that would trump them all, a time machine, although how a time machine would work i don't know. I imagine as you go forward in time you'd grow older respectively of how far forward or backward you went, so it would have limited useage against a God however it could be used to divert a disaster, and make millions and millions of dollars. Imagine how that would affect the economy, however if you did take money from another timeline then it's possible you'd fuck up everything there instead of the one you came from.
um so anyway i think a time machine would be useful, but a double edged sword if you see what i mean, i suppose you could go back in time to the creation of the God with a nuclear weapon, kill them, and kill yourself also, unless you had two timemachines then you could send a nuclear weapon back in time and be perfectly okay in the present.
That is all assuming that Time travel is possible, that the God exists, that nuclear weapon would survive time travel.

I think Loki has them all beat in the department of kick-ass tactics. Sure, he's a coward, but he's got one big bag of dirty tricks.

yet there are tale of with either of them were human sized.

That is when they are at their most dangerous.

1) who said anything about watching them bathe?
I was merely reminding you of how irascible they were. After smacking you, Athena would probably use her sword to disperse your brains more liberally than an old lady with birdseed. Artemis might just perforate your face with arrows, or see you it that you keep-off that tummy fat permanently, by unleashing her dogs.

2) they never met me. (not that I am male, but I think I can at least be on friendly terms with her.)

I doubt it.

3) as I like anticedots and other stories, I know Artemis and Athena and I would have lots to talk about.

I do not believe either of them enjoy conversation.

3b) a smackdown can be verbal as well.

Artemis might just perforate your face with arrows, or see you it that you keep-off that tummy fat permanently, by unleashing her dogs.I do not believe either of them enjoy conversation.... I really think you need to refamiliarize yourself with the Lady Artemis and Lady Athena. Artemis is a huntress, midwife and protector of living things, and Athena is the goddes of Myths, Wisdom, Strategy, Diplomacy, etc... so conversations with either is not only possible, but likely.

as long as I value their privacy (which I would) and respect their domains (which I will) a long and interesting conversation is possible.


I doubt it. considering how many of my friends are 'men haters' and they tolerate me... :p

a Frigg/Artemis match would be different, and so would the Athena/whomever, Probably Baldr... match.

That or she'l use Laxative on you, which would you prefer?
*huddles in corner*

However considering the possibility of Defeating a Godlike nemisis, i find one invention that would trump them all, a time machine, although how a time machine would work i don't know. I imagine as you go forward in time you'd grow older respectively of how far forward or backward you went, so it would have limited useage against a God however it could be used to divert a disaster, and make millions and millions of dollars. Imagine how that would affect the economy, however if you did take money from another timeline then it's possible you'd fuck up everything there instead of the one you came from.
um so anyway i think a time machine would be useful, but a double edged sword if you see what i mean, i suppose you could go back in time to the creation of the God with a nuclear weapon, kill them, and kill yourself also, unless you had two timemachines then you could send a nuclear weapon back in time and be perfectly okay in the present.
That is all assuming that Time travel is possible, that the God exists, that nuclear weapon would survive time travel.

MHiJ, once again, one of your posts has confused me a lot. Congrats!:
Oh, and the Laxative thingy waw your idea. So, quit saying I´ll use it.

When did the Asgard die?

They killed themselves during SG-1's final episode, remember? They figured out they would never find a cure for their little cloning problem, so they just gave up, gave the Tau'ri all of their knowledge and information and whatnot, and then blew themselves up.

That's why 304s--Daedalus-class battlecruisers--have Asgard beam weaponry now.

You should understand that a hunter is not a protector, but a killer. Respecting nature is more Demeter's domain (see, Erysichthon).

yep. but War in the sense of strategies, planning, and diplomacy. oh, sure, she can fight with the best of the gods, but she shows more clear thinking than other 'God(ess) of Wars'.

True. She probably is the most reasonable of all Olympians. Yet I would warn you not to get involved with Artemis; she has demanded human sacrifices before (Iphigenia).

Because Athena is the goddess of Wisdom. Artemis is the hunter.
a hunter does not kill needlessly, or wastefully.

hunter
n.
1. One who hunts game.
2. A dog bred or trained for use in hunting.
3. A horse, typically a strong fast jumper, that has been bred or trained for use in hunting.
4. One who searches for or seeks something: a treasure hunter.
5. Hunter green.


There is no statement concerning waste in the dictionary's definition.

smite.. none. hit, punch, scratch, etc... alot.


That still does not compare with how many Gods deal with things (Marsyas comes to mind).

the contests would be to match their strengths. not just a free for all brawl. no real contest in that.

Bow versus sword?

can you imagine How long Poor Cupid would last?

scratch that... after firing alot of his arrows, the brawl would quickly become an orgy! :p

CUPID, n. The so-called god of love. This bastard creation of a barbarous fancy was no doubt inflicted upon mythology for the sins of its deities. Of all unbeautiful and inappropriate conceptions this is the most reasonless and offensive. The notion of symbolizing sexual love by a semisexless babe, and comparing the pains of passion to the wounds of an arrow — of introducing this pudgy homunculus into art grossly to materialize the subtle spirit and suggestion of the work — this is eminently worthy of the age that, giving it birth, laid it on the doorstep of prosperity.

What you think hunters do to what they chase? What did dogs do to the stag (formerly, Actaeon)? What do you think Artemis does with that bow of hers?

I believe she tracks deer, then proceeds to kill them, typically by an arrow or her dogs. Surely you do not disagree with this.

I dunno, TPE seems hell bent to show that Artemis is so bloodthirsty that she would typically be dressed in the skulls of human sacrifices and would rather have her pets kill you than even look at you. :p

If the mood strikes her. ah, so you admit that there would be times when Artemis would not be in the mood to kill outright.

Yes, you must.which is far from your picture of Artemis the bloodthirsty.

Which one of the above does Artemis hunt for? er... arguing the definition of hunter... did you loose the thread already?

I believe she tracks deer, then proceeds to kill them, typically by an arrow or her dogs. Surely you do not disagree with this. but not all deer, not every deer that crosses her path.

Artemis does not take photographs of wildlife. How do you know? after all, Hermes/Mercury has a hobby of delivering flowers...
