Can someone give me a really short resume of nordic mythology?

I can.
So can many other people.
So can a book.
So can any number of videos.
So can Wikipedia.
So can any number of other online articles.

No, but I could give you a rather long and inaccurate one of Chinese mythology.

Anna Russell gives a summary of the German version, as retold by Wagner:

Giant dies,
Cow licks bones,
Life Springs forth.

Loki lies,
Monsters gather,
Ragnarok.

 

[Prince of Spires]

Giant dies,
Cow licks bones,
Life Springs forth.

Loki lies,
Monsters gather,
Ragnarok.

You forgot Thor gets drunk

You forgot Thor gets drunk

... and somewhere in the middle, Thor puts on a wedding dress.

Writing this as a Swede, there is no really short resume of Norse mythology. I'd suggest starting with a look at Wikipedia and then following up with the various books and articles referenced there.

The Norse stuff is in the back.

As a huge fan of Norse mythology (all my tattoos are inspired by it lol) I can try answering any questions you may have.

If you're looking for a fun source to learn more about it, I can recommend reading "Norse Mythology" by Neil Gaiman. It revolves mostly around creation of the world, Loki and Thor but it's quite a good read.

It's such a shame that most of Norse myths have been lost to time...
