TopicDid Norse and Greek gods really clash in any mythology?

That's not really how polytheists, or, at least the Greeks and Romans understood foreign Gods. They mostly interpreted foreign Gods as essentially being the same Gods or as being aspects of a given God.
It would be fascinating to learn how the pre-Christian Norse and Greeks would map their pantheons out on the other. Some of them me are obvious (Zeus and Odin would almost necessarily be analogues, as rulers of the Gods) but sometimes you would get seemingly weird ones, like the Greeks associating Osiris with Dionysus.
