The Myths

...A precarious balance between the forces of good and evil...

This chapter reveals how people tried to explain natural phenomena through myths and stories, before philosophers came around with their "reason" and such. The main myth told is that of Thor, and how the Norse believed all of these things about him and his hammer, and fighting the giants, and how it caused rain and crops to grow and the like. Then Jostein segwayed into how the Greek Philosophers came into play with their first stage of natural philosophy.
