Nightmare Story

In Scandinavian folklore, which is a blend of Norse mythology and elements of Christian mythology appears there are several different types of creatures, usually female, collectively called elves. [2] In Denmark they are called elves or elves, in Swedish alv or Alva and the Norwegian alv, but they occur only rarely in local folklore, and when they do, it is always used as synonymous with the stone spirits or spirits. It is a class of supernatural beings, which is probably more akin to dwarves than elves. These are also comparable with the Icelandic and the Bornholm underground. In Denmark and Sweden have the elf and Santa has many similarities with those underground, but they are primarily associated with the farm and dwelling. (KVIDELAND R., and Sehmsdorf, H., 1988)

Most folklorists tend to assume that the Icelandic fairy tales as a genre of folklore have existed since the end of IX century, that is, long before the adoption of Iceland Christianity. But as to the Christianization of Iceland, there were also tales myths. The problem of detecting differences of fairy tales and myths are complex. The main difference is that whereas myths are tales of gods and heroes, the origin of the universe and natural phenomena, in the tales central character is a person or animal or inanimate object with human qualities and mythological characters that occur in some tales are subsidiary characters of fairy tales.
