The reason is, probably because Greek myths are so well known, whereas
most people learn about the Norse myths on ther own or in University
classes :). Which reminds me, one of the books we are using for my World
Mythology class is a book of Norse myths (The Norse Myths, introduced and
retold by Kevin Crossley-Holland). Its pretty good and illustrates the
Norse universe quite well (all drawn in a norse style drawing too :)).
There's even a glossary of terms in the back of the book.
