12. Viking – Human Survival Against Mythical Elements

The TV series Vikings is full of situations where historical characters clash with mythological beliefs. Ragnar Lothbrok's path is steeped in Norse mythology, where gods such as Odin influence decision-making and events. It is the conflict between his faith in myths and his human ambition that gives the drama lots of action. Such key moments as Ragnar's death, and being thrown into the snake pit, symbolizing a nod to the legendary sagas, capture all of the tensions between man and myth.
