Norse mythology > Greek mythology

Nah, many of them were still assholes. Look at what Odin did to Loki's kids as punishment (to Loki) for murdering Baldur.

(He turned one of his Loki's (non-monstrous) sons into a wolf, which killed the other non-monstrous son. Then, Odin took the son's entrails and tied Loki to a boulder in the Underworld, directly under the world serpent. Then he cast a spell on said entrails, turning them into magical iron. Loki will escape and seek revenge on all of creation during Ragnarok.)

Every time I learn something new about Greek Mythology its always the most wild, out of pocket shit lol

Oh, here's a good one. So there's a story about a mortal who had a magical hunting dog that could not fail to catch its quarry. One day, they hunt a magical fox that can never be captured. Zeus (who had to decide the outcome via fate) had no idea how to rectify this situation, so he threw up his hands and turned both animals to stone. Basically the ancient Greek version of "an unstoppable force meets an unmovable object" conundrum.
