The tales of the Norse gods, of the giants, demons, trolls and dwarves, still have the power to fascinate more than a thousand years after they were first told.
Here are the stories of the one-eyed god Odin, the all-seeing, who from his throne in Asgard the home of the gods, has to prepare for Ragnarok, the final conflict between good and evil.
There are tales too of Tyr the god of war, of the cunning Loki, of Thor the mighty thunder god and a host of others.
These retellings of the old tales are given extra dramatic perspective by the music of Mahler, Grieg Smetana.
They come to life as never before.
