Insumansumane yeNorse inephuzu eliyingqayizivele eliyingqayizivele, ikakhulukazi ngoba imayelana namazwe angekho kude kakhulu namuhla (amahora ambalwa ngendiza ayasihlukanisa).
Eminye imibono iphakamisa ukuthi laba bafuduki abasenyakatho neYurophu babevele bewazi amazwe aseMelika ngaphambi kukaColumbus. Ukusuka lapho kuye kukho konke ukwakhiwa kwezithixo, amandla nezimfihlakalo ezingcwatshwe phakathi kweqhwa neqhwa.
Elinye lamaphuzu okwahlukanisa maqondana nezinganekwane ezinjengesiGreki imvelo engaphelele ekhonjiswa nguGaiman kulo msebenzi. Baningi kakhulu onkulunkulu basemhlabeni abavumela ukuthi babuswe yimikhuba yobudlova noma yezocansi, amadoda njengonkulunkulu abanikezwe impi yokulwa nokubonakaliswa kwamandla namandla.
Futhi kulokho kuqanjwa kuncane kakhulu kunezinganekwane zamaGrikhi, kuhlala intelezi ekhethekile. Izincwadi ezinhle ezisisondeza kwamanye ama-Olimpiki, phakathi kotshwala nentshisekelo yomzimba. Kubukeka sengathi onkulunkulu baseNorse bathole ukuthi izinjabulo zangempela zitholakala eMhlabeni.
Ngenxa yale ncwadi, sibukeza ukwakheka kokulandisa okungafani nalokhu okubandakanyeka ekufakeni lezi zinkomba zezinganekwane ezizalwe amakhaza. Futhi sijabulela inganekwane ebandayo yesifiso, isifiso sokuvelela namandla ezweni elibi lapho izimo ezisindayo zibonakala ziyisisusa sodwa sabantu abafayo nabangafi.
Ukuhlangana phakathi kwabantu nezinganekwane, sengathi bobabili babelane ngaleyo ndawo ethule lapho imijikelezo ebandayo yeNorth Pole ijikeleza khona. Izimo okuvela kuzo inganekwane phakathi kobunzima bendawo ebukeka njengamandla kazibuthe njengoba iyincithakalo, phakathi kwamahlathi asendulo, izilo zasendle kanye ne-steppe efriziwe njengendlela yokuthatha noma yiluphi uhambo.
